to present A Framework for Understanding Poverty!
The Central Region Consortium invites you and
your colleagues to participate in a full day of training on
Thursday, May 12, 2005,
at the Boys and Girls Club of Merced County / McComb Youth Center.
Nationally recognized expert, Sue Nelle DeHart, Ed.D., will present an

students. The session will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude by 4 p.m. There is
NO COST
to attend! Workshop materials and lunch will be
provided by the Central Region Consortium! This is a day you won't want to

A Framework for Understanding
Poverty, Dr. DeHart will cover
such topics as:
- how economic class affects behaviors and
mindsets
- why students from generational poverty
often fear being educated
- the "hidden rules" within economic classes
- discipline interventions that improve
behavior
- the eight resources that make a difference
in success
Related discussions also include case
studies, support systems, the role of language registers, discourse patterns
and story structure, and the relationship between eye movement and learning.
As you may have heard, Dr. DeHart captured
the attention of over 200 participants at the 2004 California Joint Special
