  Teaching Strategies for Children in Poverty
  Author Presenter: Jim Grant
  
  Award winning author, Jim Grant, will give principals a deeper understanding of the 32 dimensions of poverty that undermine school success. Principals will learn strategies that will help you narrow the achievement gap of below grade level students from poverty and how to accommodate the needs of transient students or students with high levels of absenteeism as well as those students who simply can't read the textbooks.
