So many times, teachers do not set high enough expectations for these students because they look at them as not being capable of crossing that gap and succeeding. It is really sad that some teachers believe their students in these low income areas, are not as capable, because without the faith and high expectations that are set by teachers, they will have a difficult time believing in themselves and having motivation to do well. Hopefully we will be able to make a difference if we are ever working with these children by keeping an open mind to instructional techniques and high expectations to challenge their understandings and developments.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348185740500967560noreply@blogger.com
