Disrupting Poverty: Five Powerful Classroom Practices

Drawing upon decades of research and classroom experiences, Kathleen M. Budge and William H. Parrett dispel harmful myths, explain facts, and urge educators to act against the effects of poverty. They highlight five classroom practices that contribute to high-poverty school's success: caring relationships and advocacy, high expectations and support, commitment to equity, professional accountability, and courage to act. The book includes strategies, online templates, and exercises for reflection and collaboration, equipping educators to help students escape the cycle of poverty.
