Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap by Paul C. Gorski

New Century College professor Dr. Paul C. Gorski has published Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap and will be discussing his book at this year's Fall for the Book event.  

From the publisher, Teachers College Press:

(Dr. Gorski) draws from decades of research to deconstruct popular myths, misconceptions, and educational practices that undercut the achievement of low-income students. He carefully describes the challenges that students in poverty face and the resiliencies they and their families draw upon. Most importantly, this book provides specific, evidence-based strategies for teaching youth by creating equitable, bias-free learning environments. Written in an appealing conversational tone, this resource will help teachers and school leaders to better reach and teach students in poverty.
