Eric Jensen will present this session, for PreK-12, and give you background knowledge, key skills and a practical roadmap for academic success with kids from poverty.  You will learn how to understand poverty in a totally new way and how to intervene in a positive, practical research-based way that can skyrocket achievement scores.  This event will give you usable, fresh strategies that you can use for years and easy to use ideas that you can put into effect immediately. Jensen Learning integrates cutting-edge neuroscience with practical, user-friendly, brain-based learning classroom strategies to overcome challenging teaching environments, such as poverty, to create a high performance school environment.
