A Framework for Understanding Poverty 2-Day Audio Workshop Kit 8 CDs

by Ruby K. Payne

People in poverty face challenges virtually unknown to those in the middle class or wealth--challenges from both obvious and hidden sources. The reality of being poor brings out a survival mentality and turns attention away from opportunities taken for granted by everyone else. Since 1995 A Framework for Understanding Poverty has guided hundreds of thousands of educators and other professionals through the pitfalls and barriers faced by all classes, especially the poor. The recording of Dr. Ruby Payne presenting her Framework Workshop to a live audience provides not only the facts of poverty, but also practical yet compassionate strategies for addressing the impact of poverty on people's lives.
