I believe kids living in poverty deserve success, too! Studies of risk and resilience in children have shown that income correlates with a sense of alienation in school. It’s time to:
  • Deepen staff understanding of poverty, 
  • Change the school culture from frustration to empathy and action, and
  • Consider adjustments in the learning environment that will support kids, including those living in poverty. 
 The vibrancy of diversity is found in differences, not sameness. Allow variance of family income to infuse energy, not friction, into the teaching and learning equation. Adopt the mantra, "Student Success for All!"

Student success is the target. The point is excellent teaching for increased student learning. The solution is simple - clear and consistent delivery of time-tested, best practice fundamentals.
  • No excuses.
  • No magic.
Clarity generates confidence, and confidence generates consistent delivery of high-quality instruction. Make the necessary adjustments. Adjust your swing! Find your 'sweet spot!'
