Understanding Poverty

Hawker Brownlow Professional Learning Solutions and Aha! Process Inc. have partnered to provide Australian-based Understanding Training.  Our Training Associates have undertaken specialised training with Dr Ruby Payne to become certified trainers for A Framework for Understanding Poverty. 

Topics covered in these trainings include: how economic class affects behaviours and mindsets, why students from generational poverty often fear being educated, the “hidden rules” within economic classes, discipline interventions that improve behaviour, and the eight resources that make a difference in success.

Related discussions include case studies, support systems, the role of language registers, discourse patterns and story structure.  This seminar is designed for audiences from both primary and secondary level educators with adaptation and application for community, social service and faith community audiences.
