This document discusses the relationship between culture, poverty, and education. It provides an overview of different types of poverty and how cultural differences can impact poverty. Key points are made about how poverty affects classroom engagement and educational outcomes. The document also summarizes a study on the educational experiences of children in the US South, finding that factors like repeating kindergarten, single-parent households, and teenage mothers can lead to smaller reading gains, while girls and longer teacher tenure see greater gains. Implications for social workers to promote more equal educational opportunities are discussed.

The Fourth Strand of Social Justice: Theoretically SpecificDouglas Strahler
This presentation was given to the IT3 Doctoral Cohort's Social Justice course in the summer of 2012. The presentation described the fourth strand of social justice through three prominent theoretical specific discourses in education: multiculturalism, critical pedagogy, & cultural studies.
This presentation examines two articles related to topics on assistive technology and ethics, “Teaching Assistive Technology through Wikis and Embedded Video” by Oliver Dreon Jr. and Nanette I. Dietrich, and “When Dealing with Human Subjects: Balancing Ethical and Pratical Matters in the Field” by Michael A Evans and Liesl M. Combs. Topics covered in this presentation include defining/history of assistive technology, wikis & video, YouTube, and ethical issues surrounding assistive technologies.
This group presentation examined culture & poverty with its connection to social justice. The presentation also discusses Payne's (2005) definition and key points on poverty, a case study on Urban Detroit schools, and future recommendations to improve the current state of poverty in education.

What are the challenges in identifying and retaining children who are economically disadvantaged, of color, and second language learners in programs for high-ability learners? Learn how schools can do a better job of identifying, serving, and retaining these children, while engaging and involving their families.
Public schools stand at the threshold of a system that has behind them a history of over five decades of testing for identification and accountability since ESEA was first enacted. In front of them is a landscape that is shaped by dramatic changes in demographics: ever changing technology; significant generational differences; and, policy changes at both the federal and state level that could deliver long sought after changes to top down accountability concepts. As educators, we can stand in the threshold, teaching and leading based on our past, or we can step through the door and facilitate learning in this new and constantly shifting environment.
51% of school children attending public schools in America live in poverty based on the federal definition. We have disaggregated student demographic data as it relates to achievement for many years to determine improvement initiatives. In recent years we have experienced significant increases in the costs associated with remedial instruction and special education; both while overall student enrollment in most rural schools is decreasing. The percentage of students eligible for free and reduced lunch has reached all-time highs in many rural, suburban, and urban public schools. What are the implications of all this in the schoolhouse when it comes to learning, teaching and leading?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

- Key points on poverty
- Culture and education
- Connections to Social Justice
- Empirical studies
3. Introducing Poverty
The extent to which an individual does without resources.
- Financial
- Emotional
- Mental
- Spiritual
- Physical
- Support systems
- Role models
- Knowledge of hidden rules
Payne, (2003, 2005)
4. Key points on poverty
➢ It is relative.
➢ It occur in all races and in all countries.
➢ There are cultural differences in poverty.
➢ Generational poverty and situational poverty are different.
➢ Schools operate from middle-class norms and values.
➢ Individuals bring with them the hidden rules of the class in which
they were raised.
Payne, (2003, 2005)
5. Key points on poverty
➢ To move from poverty to middle class, one must give up (for a
period of time) relationships for achievement.
➢ Two things that help one move out of poverty are education and
relationships.
➢ Four reasons one leaves poverty are:
➢ It’s painful to stay
➢ A vision or goal
➢ A key relationship
➢ A special talent or skill
Payne, (2003, 2005)
6. Culture and education
Culture:
- norms, values, attitudes and
patterns of behavior
- spiritual, material, intellectual and
emotional features of society
- lifestyles, ways of living together,
value systems, traditions and
beliefs
- shapes individual’s worldviews
(Lamont & Small, 2008)
8. Facts from UNESCO
-Mother’s schooling / Infant mortality
-Secondary education for girls / Wage
-Schooling for a country’s population / Civil war
-People of voting age with a primary education / support democracy
-Well‐nourished children / be in the correct grade at school
-Low‐income countries with basic reading skills/ cut in global poverty

9. How poverty affects classroom
engagement
● One in five U.S. children under the age of 18—or 16 million children—
live in poverty.
● Students from low-income households are more likely to struggle with
engagement—for seven reasons.
o Health and nutrition
o Vocabulary
o Effort
o Hope and the growth of mind-set
o Cognition
o Relationships
o Distress
10. 1)Health and nutrition
Children from low SES conditions are
● less likely to exercise, get proper
diagnoses, receive appropriate
and prompt medical attention
● exposed to food with lower
nutritional value
What you can do:
● give attention to physical
education programs
o the use of games, movement,
and drama, etc.
11. 2)Vocabulary
Low, middle, and upper income families What you can do:
● Include vocabulary building in
engagement activities, such as,
trading card activities, class mixer
● incorporate vocabulary practice
into daily rituals
12. 3) Effort
Research suggests, “parents from
poor families work as much as
parents of middle- or upper-class
families do” --inherited laziness
● Lack of hope and optimism
● The school and teachers as a primary factor
affecting student motivation
What you can do:
● strengthen your relationships
with students by revealing more
of yourself and learning more
about your students
● make connections between
learning and students' worlds
● set high goals and sell students
on their chances to reach them
13. 4) Hope and the growth of mind-set
lowered expectations about future
outcomes
What you can do:
Guide students in making smarter
strategy choices and cultivating a
positive attitude
Don't use comforting phrases that
imply that even though a student isn't
good at something, he or she has
"other" strengths
14. 5) Cognition
low-SES children show cognitive
problems (Jensen, 2013), including
-short attention spans,
-high levels of distractibility,
-difficulty monitoring the quality of their work,
and
-difficulty generating new solutions to problems
What you can do:
Focus on the core academic skills that
students need the most
Such as, how to organize, study, take notes,
prioritize, remember key ideas and then
problem-solving, processing, and working-
memory skills.
15. 6) Relationships
● Single parent caregiver, missing
role models
● Disruptive home relationships
What you can do:
Need of strong, positive, caring adults
The more you care, the better the
foundation for interventions
16. 7) Distress
Typical behaviors of distressed
children:
-angry "in your face" assertiveness or
-disconnected "leave me alone"
passivity
What you can do:
● Reduce stress by embedding
more classroom fun in academics
● Teach students ongoing coping
skills so they can better deal with
their stressors
17. A Study about Educational Experiences
of Children in the U.S. South
The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K)
(NCES, 2001)
● 3,501 children, in 1,208 classrooms, in 246 schools
● Purpose: exploring the contexts of educational achievement in the South,
considering issues of race and SES
● Why South: The large ethnic minority population and the high levels of
child poverty in the South
Fram, Miller-Cribbs, &Van Horn (2007)
18. Findings & Conclusion
Findings:
Smaller gains in reading:
Children who repeated kindergarten, children from single-parent households,
and children of teenage mothers
Greater gains in reading:
-Girls, longer teacher tenure, reading peers
Conclusion:
-Potential barriers to these children's educational achievement; less parental
time and know-how for supporting children's learning
-The significance of school peer group composition
19. Implications
How social workers might promote greater equality in educational
opportunities and outcomes:
● Advocating for mixed-ability peer groups may empower vulnerable
children toward greater school success.
● Educating teachers and school administrators on building support for
integration among the more privileged families whose children are
overrepresented in high-skill groups.
● strengthening the policies and programs that promote economic equality
and meaningful choices about family formation and parenting.

Editor's Notes
Children from low-income families hear, on average, 13 million words by age 4.
In middle-class families, children hear about 26 million words during that same time period.
In upper-income families, they hear a staggering 46 million words by age 4.
