On Poverty and Learning

This collection of articles from Educational Leadership brings together fifteen insightful and passionate pieces that will help you better understand how poverty affects learning and what educators can do to make a positive difference for each learner every day. The authors examine the existence and persistence of economic inequality, demythologize poverty as a culture, explore interventions large and small, and discuss practical ways to engage, support, and challenge students living in poverty. With candor and compassion, they inspire us to think creatively about ways to help these young people see and achieve their full potential.
