10/10 Graduation rates are improving for low-income students, but there is still more to be done. Students that can’t get food and educational support at home should be provided these supports in the district. Schools should be given the tools to help students. @tonniemartinez

9/10 Schools can help low-income students by offering after-school programs where tutors are offered for no cost. They can provide free snacks or breakfast so students have the energy to think. Teachers can help by providing in-class assignments and tutoring. @tonniemartinez

8/10 Students that live in low-income districts with high drop-out rates suffer from lack of funding. They don’t eat, and they don’t receive educational support because schools can’t afford new technology or to pay teachers to stay after school to tutor. @tonniemartinez

7/10 Low-Income students that don’t live in districts that provide free/reduced lunch or breakfast have a harder time focusing and having the energy for class/learning because they are not receiving the nutrients that they need to think and stay awake at school. @tonniemartinez

6/10 Setting up low-income students for educational success begins in elementary school and if students are behind in reading and mathematics by the time they enter the 7th grade, they are likely to stay on that path. @tonniemartinez #EDSEC455

5/10 High school graduation rates for Hispanic students was 77.8% and 74.6% for African-American students according to a report by Civic Enterprises and John Hopkins University. This is nearly 10% lower compared to other groups of students.

4/10 Native Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and African Americans were found to have poverty rates between 26-32%, and non-Hispanic Whites at 11%. Students of these families are more likely to drop out of high school or not be at age-reading level in elementary ed. @tonniemartinez

3/10 Low-Income students are less likely to have parents that can support their learning and help them with school assignments at home. This can be due to these parents working more, lacking a high school diploma, or being an ESL speaker. @tonniemartinez #EDSEC455

2/10 Low-Income students do not have access to the tools that middle-class students have. This includes internet access at home or a device they can use to do assignments and research. 1to1 schools try to combat this by providing ipads or chromebooks to students @tonniemartinez

Low-Income Students Series 1/10
Understanding the diversity of income differences in your students will help you better accommodate and teach them. Low-Income students are often overlooked and don’t receive the aid they need to be successful students.

A5: I’ll look for districts that embrace and utilize technology, have high new teacher retention rates, and embrace and support diverse students (race, gender, age, learning styles, backgrounds, sexuality, beliefs, etc)

A3: problem solving begins in kindergarten and students master and grow this skill as the years go by. It plays an important role in education and real life, allowing students to develop higher level thinking skills. I’ll encourage it through homework.

A2: social media is very active in education today, by creating professional social media accounts, I can connect with other educators, the community, and even my professors!

@DrazinMatthew Mason E.
A1: using a variety of teaching styles and being flexible with lessons, I.e. lecturing, visual presentations, group and independent working. This is important because majority of classrooms have a diverse group of students who learn in different ways.

I really like using Pinterest because you can find a multitude of resources ranging from classroom management to activities for your content area! I have boards dedicated to “teen things”, mathematics, and classroom management. #edtechksu #pstpln #pinterest
