This is a great article with tips for when we work with students who live in generational poverty. Big challenges end with great rewards! Closing academic gaps requires closing opportunity gaps. Praise, thinking outside the box with challenges that arise, loving students even during the most difficult and unloving behaviors, and having high expectations. There is so much potential in all of our students:
5 Ways to Help Students Affected by Generational Poverty
This article is a quick read about how living in poverty can influence learning. The part about mobility is something that I think most of can relate to with students we work with:
How Does Poverty Influence Learning?
Whether we are providing interventions, extensions, check-ins, incentives and behavior plans, discipline, or even resources: every student is different. Great reminder of equity versus equality, everybody receiving the same:

We had a great night at Chick-fil-A! Thank you to those that attended, and even assisted! It was a great evening with students and their families.
The link below is such a great article. It relates very well to our school, and fits with Leader in Me pieces like leadership and student voice. The last couple years have seen changes at our school with how we talk with students, particularly with discipline. Some days are hard. There is a shift in mindset that has been required at times, and that takes time. As the article states: we see potential in all students, despite challenges that arise.
I wish you could have the Kindergarten teacher Tuesday afternoon, as she handled a disciple situation. She was discussing behavior concerns with a student, included the habits to help make changes, and giving patience and her time- as a plan for changes was made. The student showed empathy as he discussed the feelings of the other students, win-loss instead of win-win, with that specific language used in the conversation. More than just consequences, but also including social-emotional skills. What a change from past discipline! Very impressive, and so proud of both the teacher and the student. I can't wait to see that young man in a few years as a fifth grade student.
We have seen so many successes with the creative uses of people and resources. The growth of students shows it, both with academics and social-emotional areas:
