[CaTEACH-SMI] Professional Development for Pre-Service Teachers

[Leslie Bushong]

ATTENTION:  ALL PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS

The Understanding the Culture of Poverty Conference is a two-day 
workshop that will offer participants an opportunity to consider the 
realities of what it means to "live in poverty." Through the research 
of Dr. Ruby Payne, Ph.D., this compelling and interactive workshop

interfere with achievement and success for the community of poverty. 
Participants will leave with strategies for effectively engaging with 
the community of poverty.
