| Understanding the Impact of Culture & Poverty on Learning |
|
Culture and poverty impact an individual's perceptions, behaviors, and how they learn. This impact is more significant in individuals with emotional disorders. Traditionally the impact has been explained only in the framework of environmental influence. However, we now know that there exists both brain development and neurological implications. There can be little impact in working with students who demonstrate different behaviors and learning patterns by only understanding culture and poverty. This session will explain the impact of culture and poverty on human development and strategies that must be implemented to have success in the face of these strong negative influences. (90-minute keynote overview or full-day training – 6 hours)
