Title: About Addressing Poverty: What’s a School's Role?

Description: The potential barriers to learning and teaching encountered by students living in poverty have been well documented. There have been concerns about a culture of poverty and a culture of classism; concerns about stereotyping, bias, prejudice, low standard setting, and self-fullfilling prophecies related to students and their families (Ceballo, 2004; Center for MH in Schools, 2018;Gorski, 2008; Hopson & Lee, 2011; Lewis,1961; Pennington, Heim, Levy, & Larkin, 2016).
