| Abstract | This paper examines the issue of poverty in the context of education. Students living in poverty attend schools throughout the United States. Many educators who encounter poverty in their school community view it as a problem. They blame parents, saying “They do not value education. They do little or nothing to support the education of their children”. These educators develop low expectations for the academic achievements of their students, which become the norm for poor children. Consequently, students who have the potential to learn may experience failure. Many educators do not use innovative practices to promote student achievement, nor do they believe in positive parent/community participation/relations to boost overall school success. This paper explores the philosophical beliefs, effective programs, and community engagement strategies in a school that is helping poor students succeed. |
