This blog is formatted to allow for discussion of Eric Jensen's book on poverty. Each participant may enter reflections in the comment section of Chapter 1, then on the following three headings found in chapters 2-6: 1) Theory & Research 2) Action Steps 3) High Poverty Schools Making it Happen, in the comment sections of each chapter.
Just more of my notes: • S.H.A.R.E. pg 107 • S=Turn Standards into meaningful lessons; Determine background knowledge; adjust lesson plans pg 110 - 113 • H=Inventory students and staff on their level of Hope pg 114 – 117 • A=Arts, athletics, advanced placement improve achievement pg 117 – 127 • R=Retooling the operating system: consistent, coherent, sustained support in skill building using CHAMPS pg 128 - 133 • E=Engaging activities – note chart pg 135 and what engages students; let them take charge of their learning pg 133 – 142
The main idea here is thinking outside the box not just teaching to a test but analyze the data, make their school time meaningful and work to inspire and instill hope.
