Educating Students Who Live in PovertyThe stereotypes of people living in poverty in America are so deeply imbedded in our society that one
of the most difficult parts of this training may be to examine your beliefs and open your mind to new
interpretations of the behavior of those struggling without basic needs. Doing so, however, is the first
step to improving your success and effectiveness with educating students in poverty and helping end
the cycle of suffering. Your attitudes and beliefs shapes your tone of voice, your body posture, your
facial expressions and your actions towards students.
