AE 524 — The Culture of Poverty: Foundational Exploration
In this foundational course, educators will explore the latest research to assist with development of a basic understanding of the culture of poverty and the effects it has on students, families, communities, and especially schools in which they live and work. The students will work with other educators in their local educational contexts (peers, community-based professionals, building administrators) and from SMSU (university professor(s) and fellow classmates). Together, they will increase their understanding of the past and current research and discoveries and explore classroom strategies and applications.
