How does poverty affect student achievement

Many times in school, students are told what to do or how to think. For many student when your tough they will shut down and they wont learn and get there classwork.  Being tough only promotes fear and it only temporarily changes.. Trust is a crucial factor in any relationship. Students need to be able to trust us and know that we are for them and believe in them no matter what behaviors they exhibit If you layout the ground rules and let the student know that rules are set in place so that each student can learn and be safe.

Sometime when you have things all planed out it might not go as plan. In school, we’re told to plan when studying for exams and writing a paper. that’s not what I wanted to say   It’s okay cause I over plan just joking lets get back to the task at hand. We’re trained to avoid procrastination, as it leads to no action being taken. Over-planning is just that bad When you think about all the time you spent on one project you could have been doing something else to better your students. Overlooking the evidence of the past when most plans didn’t get done and most things didn’t get crossed off as hoped. Everything that we do our students see so if we over plan, they will pick up on that and have that bad habit as well. 

 We are taught as children that we need to stay in school. Having an education is the first step to finding a job and earning money. Without an education, many are left unemployed and stuck living in poverty for the rest of their lives. One of the factors that limit the school success of children in poverty is stress. Children that are stress from poor housing conditions, poor nutrition, and other issues can affect a child’s physical and cognitive development. This can lead to mental conditions that impact a student’s motivation and desire to do well in school. Parents that have low incomes, on average, will not have time to read to their children due to the parent having more than one job can cause the student to have less stable home environments. The difference in preparation tends to persevere through elementary and high school. 

 Hello everyone My name is Janelle Wright I believe that when you invest yourself in your students you are creating a positive atmosphere in the classroom that enhances your relationship with students and makes them feel important. Caring is one of the six pillars of character education including trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness and citizenship. Student are far more responsive to a teacher who cares and is therefore more likely to learn and engage.
