Before you Quit Teaching: Tools, Resources, and Hope for Teachers in High-Poverty Classrooms (Book Included)

      


Bethanie Tucker with aha! Process, a Ruby Payne Company will present Before You Quit Teaching:
Tools, Resources, and Hope for New Teachers in High-Poverty Classrooms
Bad news first: Teachers, especially new teachers, are often undervalued, underequipped, and
unprepared for the reality of high-poverty classrooms. The result is frustration, fear, and a loss of
idealism and enthusiasm, fatal flaws for someone facing 30 fourth-graders and a besieged principal
every day. Hopelessness can set in fast.
Before your teachers quit, realize this: Not only can they survive, they can experience the joy
and satisfaction they expected when they first decided to teach. Besides, their
students need them.
Teachers who participate in this training will:
? Use calming strategies to help their students?—and themselves!
? Better understand parents
? Learn to work with administrators they may not like
? Reduce discipline referrals
? Thrive even under adverse working conditions
