HASCD is proud to partner with the Hawaii Department of Education to provide professional development with nationally recognized educators and
ASCD authors Kathleen Budge and William Parrett focused on
disrupting poverty in schools.

Drawing upon decades of research and myriad authentic classroom experiences, Kathleen M. Budge and William H. Parrett will dispel harmful myths, explain the facts, and urge educators to act against the debilitating effects of poverty on their students. They will share the powerful voices of teachers, many of whom grew up in poverty, to amplify the five classroom practices that permeate the culture of successful high-poverty schools:

· caring relationships and advocacy
· high expectations and support
· Commitment to equity
· professional accountability for learning
· the courage and will to act

Participants will explore classroom-tested strategies and practices, plus online templates and exercises that can be used for personal reflection or ongoing collaboration with colleagues. Disrupting Poverty provides teachers, administrators, coaches, and others with the background information and the practical tools needed to help students break free from the cycle of poverty.

Visit www.hascd.org/disruptingpoverty for more information and how to register.
