This course is designed so that educators can better understand children coming from poverty. Poverty will be discussed from a variety of viewpoints; including financial, emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical. We will examine the critical role that support systems, resources, relationships, and role models play as intervening factors. We will explore the hidden rules and habits of poverty situations. Some key beliefs of this course are: poverty is relative, poverty occurs in all races, economic class is a continuous line, not a clear-cut distinction, and there is a difference between generational and situational poverty. Participants will experience research-based strategies to assist children affected by poverty.
