Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind: Practical Strategies for Raising Achievement Description
In this galvanizing follow-up to the best-selling Teaching with Poverty in Mind, renowned educator and learning expert Eric Jensen digs deeper into engagement as the key factor in the academic success of economically disadvantaged students.
Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind reveals
* Smart, purposeful engagement strategies that all teachers can use to expand students' cognitive capacity, increase motivation and effort, and build deep, enduring understanding of content.
* The (until-now) unwritten rules for engagement that are essential for increasing student achievement.
* How automating engagement in the classroom can help teachers use instructional time more effectively and empower students to take ownership of their learning.
* Steps you can take to create an exciting yet realistic implementation plan.
Too many of our most vulnerable students are tuning out and dropping out because of our failure to engage them. It's time to set the bar higher. Until we make school the best part of every student's day, we will struggle with attendance, achievement, and graduation rates. This timely resource will help you take immediate action to revitalize and enrich your practice so that all your students may thrive in school and beyond.

I love how Eric tells it like it is to educators: If we want student achievement to soar, we are going to have to make changes, especially in how we engage our students and especially those students in poverty. On page 4, he says: "This book is a 'no excuses' resource that will get you on the path toward making good things happen every single day." This book is chock-full of easy to implement strategies to engage students. On an airplane ride home, I read this book quickly, highlighting many ideas that I can use immediately. More importantly, I am looking forward to sharing the powerful research and ideas with colleagues who teach in places where hope is dwindling or unfortunately gone.

This book is so filled with amazing, practical applications that it truly is a must read for every educator. Although written with poverty in mind, so much of it can be applied to any classroom and any struggling student. There is something for every teacher K-12!
I don't think my copy has a single page without some type of notes or underlining. So often I wrote, "Good idea or must try this."
So basically, Eric has done it again. He has provided us with a much needed tool to reach all students. I will be buying more copies as gifts for some of my educator friends. Thank you, Eric!
