Ch. 9: Creating Relationships
A Framework for Understanding Poverty
Why do people leave poverty?
Four Reasons People Leave Poverty
(p. 61)
1.) A goal or vision of something they want to be or have.
2.) A situation that is so painful that anything would be better.
3.) Someone "sponsors" them (i.e., an educator or
spouse or mentor or role model who shows them a
different way or convinces them that they could live
differently).
4.) A specific talent or ability that provides an opportunity for
them.
HONORING STUDENTS =
ENHANCED LEARNING
Dr. Payne states that "to honor
students as a human being worthy of
respect and care is to establish a
relationship that will provide for
enhanced learning" (p. 111).

emotional deposits are made to the
student, emotional withdrawals are
avoided, and students are respected.”
