There is no greater challenge facing education right now than poverty. It impacts everything, including access to technology and racial disparities. The Poverty Problem describes how brains change and adapt due to low SES and its ramifications on learning and behavior. It presents findings from both neuroscience and resiliency research and explains how the research relates to school environments. The book also shows solutions rather than merely explaining the problems. This focus on solutions is critical because it reduces the misapplication of the findings. Each chapter presents concrete strategies to help educators counteract, minimize, and in some cases, reverse the impact poverty is having on the child and adolescent brain. Topics include the lack of culturally competent instruction and its impact on students of color, poverty's effect on language development and how it can be influenced, the importance of reading, and how to counteract the effects of stress which are so endemic in lower SES environments. This is an important book, and though it tackles difficult topics, its message of hopefulness is apparent--
