The Effects of Poverty
on Teaching and Learning
What's
All the Hype?
Poverty is an issue that more and more
of our nation’s children are coming face to face with.
The price that children of poverty must pay is unbelievably high.
Each year, increasing numbers of children are entering schools
with needs from circumstances, such as poverty, that schools are not prepared
to meet. This paper will examine
the effects of poverty on teaching and learning.
Poverty as a risk factor will be discussed as will a number of
the many challenges that arise in teaching children of poverty. Implications of brain-based research for curriculum
reform and adaptation will be presented.
