It is vitally important that all staff members try to understand the backgrounds and environments that students come from when they arrive at school. I would highly suggest reading, A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby Payne (1998). A dialog with staff about these topics can help to establish a positive foundation for connecting with all parents and students. Not all students come from classic middle-income backgrounds. Not all parents trust the intentions of teachers and schools. Ruby Payne’s treatment of these topics can help bridge a huge communication gap and open the door to positive communication. |
