Finding #1: Students’ Disadvantage Socioeconomic factors impacting academic
success: housing, health care, quality or accessibility to preschool, employment situation, nutrition and environmental stress.
“…how children experience school is determined by the level of disadvantage they face.” “…children living in low-income families were more likely to be socially excluded, or to exclude themselves, within school.” Horgan

Finding #2: Teachers’ Power Teachers have limited influence over the
effects of how goods are distributed but they are able to produce relational effects by generating enabling possibilities through their practice. In high poverty contexts, this means writing new scripts that prioritize learning over control, such as the ability to engage in negotiated action, open-ended dialogue, collaboration, problem-solving and multi-purpose writing.

Conclusions Importance of studying and understading structural
poverty. Innovation: thinking differently and allocation of
time and resources. Consistent whole-school approaches and
assessments to produce predictable effects. Students should experience participation in a
diversity of educational relationships and contexts (out-of-school activities).
Development of a sense of understanding through intensive, small group, Socratic conversation, instead of skill remediation.
