| Abstract
|
:
|
The author, a veteran educator and brain expert, takes a look at how poverty hurts children, families, and communities across the United States, demonstrating how schools can improve the academic achievement and life readiness of economically disadvantaged students. The author argues that although chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and character. Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, this book reveals what poverty is and how it affects students in school; what drives change both at the macro level (within schools and districts) and at the micro level (inside a student's brain); effective strategies from those who have succeeded and ways to replicate those practices at your own school; and how to engage the resources necessary to make change happen.
