Course Objectives  

Upon successful completion of this course, the graduate student will:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of the impact of life in poverty.
  • Explore strategies grounded in the science of learning that are specifically designed to support the needs of under-resourced learners.
  • Demonstrate a commitment to ongoing learning, teacher leadership and advocacy for children of poverty.

 What to Expect:

This face-to-face course will include an in-depth study of the Center’s 25 strategies for teaching children of poverty.   Each strategy will be explored through the lens of neuroscience, and students will be encouraged to consider ways to apply each strategy in their own schools and with their own students.

  • During each class period, students will create a personalized representation of their learning around each of the 25 strategies.  This representation will be submitted for assessment at the conclusion of the course.
  • Course content will primarily be provided during face-to-face sessions on June 12, June 13, and June 17, therefore, students are required to attend and actively participate in all class meetings in order to earn credit for the course. There are NO EXCUSED ABSENCES.
  • Three class meeting days (June 18, 19, and 20) will be held in conjunction with the Center of Excellence to Prepare Teachers of Children of Poverty’s annual Poverty Simulation and Summer Institute.  This conference for educators and stakeholders is convened on the campus of Francis Marion University.  Students do not have to pay to register for the Summer Institute in addition to the course registration fee, but attendance on each of the three days of the Simulation and Institute is required in order to be eligible to earn course credit.  Note: Assignments from conference activities are included in the course requirements.
