Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a strong relationship between students' socioeconomic status and their levels of academic achievement. Although educators should be held accountable for improving the performance of all students, including those living in poverty, schools alone can't eliminate the negative factors associated with poverty that lead to a large achievement gap between low income students and their more affluent peers. Factors that have a negative effect on poor students' achievement but are beyond schools' control include a higher incidence of prenatal adversity, illness and injury, exposure to pollutants, nutritional problems, residential mobility, and a lack of educational activities and materials in the home. This Information Capsule reviews studies conducted on the relationship between poverty and student achievement, including the effects of both individual poverty and school poverty concentration on academic performance. Research indicates that low income students tend to have significantly lower levels of academic achievement than their more affluent peers. The number of disadvantaged students attending a school also affects student performance: students at all income levels have been found to have lower levels of achievement when they attend schools with high poverty concentrations. Data collected within Miami-Dade County Public Schools confirmed that as poverty concentrations in the District's schools increase, academic performance declines. Finally, strategies to help schools raise low income students' achievement levels are summarized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Information Capsule is the third in a series of papers addressing factors contributing to low academic achievement. The two previous papers addressed issues relevant to class size reduction and teacher quality/preparation. The premise of this Information Capsule is that there is no single smoking gun relative to improving school performance. Solving the challenges confronting education cannot be solved by one, two or even three reform strategies. Neither "fad" nor popular flavor of the month reform strategy will do the job. Rather, the case can be made that a comprehensive approach comparable to the War on Poverty of the 1960s or the present War on Terror is what is needed to make substantial headway in solving the economic, social, and familial problems reflected in today's public schools. The popular assumption is that bad schools are the most important reason for low achievement. To remedy the situation one need only address school outcomes by developing high standards, testing, and school accountability measures without addressing the underlying problematic "inputs." This paper will address what these inputs are and the dramatic impact they have on educating students. It goes without saying that improvements should be made in public schools; however, it is also clear that schools are not the sole problem. Public schools are mirrors reflecting the sociocultural, economic, and political problems existing in the neighborhoods and communities in which they are located. Schools do not cause the achievement gap. The gap between high and low income children exists far before formal education begins. Schools are forced to play catchup and generally diminish the inequalities produced by the out-of-school factors discussed in this Information Capsule. Unfortunately, long standing generational inequalities are not easily remedied or eliminated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement gap is one of the most talked about issues in U.S. education. It shows up in grades, standardized test scores, course selection, dropout rates, and college completion. This book argues that the focus on the gap is misplaced. Today, we need to look at the societal factors that have accumulated over time and have resulted in poverty level pay for teachers, lack of resources in out poorest schools and an abundance of children entering our schools unprepared. Dr. Wages has written a detailed, well documented book that can serve as an informative resource to create an awareness of the multidimensional and complex issues of poverty.

Download or read book The Economic and Opportunity Gap written by Anni K. Reinking and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economic and Opportunity Gap has a great deal of information, ideas and resources focused on children and families living in poverty. Specifically, how teachers and other professionals working with students can reflect, improve, and implement inclusive practices. The information in this book is based in research, such as the foundational starting piece that nearly one-fourth of our children in the United States are living in poverty, a whopping 21%. This number, one that is doubled in some communities and does not consider children in families near the poverty line, is striking when compared to other similarly situated countries. Understanding that many students and families are on the trajectory of poverty will come to light as readers make their way through from statistics, to research, to definitions, to action items.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Students are impacted by a life of poverty in several ways that hinder their academic achievement; however, there are many factors that contribute to students' academic success despite a life of poverty. Many children living in poverty face reduced brain development in ways that make regulating stress and performing complicated thought processes difficult. The health of children living in poverty suffers increased stress and physiological problems that make dealing with this stress more difficult. The number of behavior problems with students living in poverty make academic success a challenge. Also contributing to the academic failure of many children living in poverty are the dangerous neighborhoods and non-supportive homes they live in. Despite the negative effects, students living in poverty can persevere and achieve academic success. There are several strategies teachers can use to connect with these students and engage them in learning. Finally, there is aid available to families living in poverty that can mitigate the negative effects and help students become academically successful."--leaf 3.
