The #1 Challenge for Teachers and School Administrators is Teaching Students Affected By Poverty...

"I'll help you transform your low-performing school into to a high-achieving school... even if over 90% of your students live in poverty"

Get the Practical, Achievement- Boosting, and 100% Research-Based Strategies... That Raise ADA, Test Scores & AYP... From The Man Who Wrote the Book on Brain-Based Learning.

If your students come from poverty, you have unique learning, social and behavior challenges.

We know the human brain is just as vulnerable to negative factors as it is receptive to positive factors.

Your school can become a “Blue Ribbon” success story... and I'd like to show you how.

A Special Invitation To Perhaps The Most Important Educator Workshop Of 2012.

There is an element that the education community is powerless to control -- Poverty. In the past two years, the rate of poverty has grown at an alarming rate and now even traditional middle-class schools are feeling the pressure that comes with the stress of poverty.

It’s easy to look at the statistics and just give up. I'm here to give you some good news.

I have done my homework. Many schools are succeeding. I have found them. I have worked at several of them to discover what are they doing that is working. I have done my homework and I have isolated the factors that matter most. Although it was exciting to find these factors, what was more exciting was to visit the schools that were succeeding with kids from poverty. I can name the names and share the schools that would knock your socks off.

The special report above is a first step. I want you to get something tangible that will prove that I’m dead serious about improving achievement.

Please let me also introduce myself. I am Eric Jensen is a former middle school teacher, university faculty and author of Teaching with the Brain in Mind, Enriching the Brain and Teaching with Poverty in Mind, and 24 other books on the brain and learning. But my real passion has been helping students from poverty. In fact, it’s the subject of my doctoral dissertation.

What my research uncovered are highly effective factors that turn out to be of critical value when applied a specific way. I have verified these strategies by working with some of America’s greatest Title 1 and Title II schools.

Now, I’m making this research and the practical strategies that go with it, available to you. I have seen my share of miracles, and I’m sold on the capacity for change.

Now it’s your turn.

Now You Can Get Success with Kids From Poverty. Read Carefully to Find Out How You Can Now Get Access to a Highly Engaging, World-Class Staff Developer Who Blends Cutting- Edge Research, with School-Tested Strategies that Every Staff Can Use Immediately!

The fact is, it can be done, and it is being done every single day. I actually have a list of schools that are doing this TODAY. If your school’s not on it, isn't it time you were?

Could you use some help? If so, read on.

Here’s an example:

“Your workshop changed my life. I have had so many success stories; I wouldn't know where to begin. I have truly rekindled my passion for teaching using your tools of engagement strategies. As a matter of fact, today I was voted Teacher of the Year for Sawtooth Middle School. Yesssssssssssssss!!!!! I look forward everyday to engaging my students in the learning process. I honor you and your dedication to providing teachers with the best and latest brain researched strategies to engage all learners of any age or skill level. Forever in gratitude,”
Donna Battazzo, 6th grade middle school teacher

Yes, you can learn how to boost attendance, exceed AYP, and turn your school into an amazing, high-performance, blue ribbon success story!

This remarkable and practical program reveals the startling links between the latest brain/mind research and the proven strategies to reach today’s children from poverty.

“It’s a message of hope for all students! Teachers can make a difference.” -J.T. Arivaca, AZ

Join us for an engaging, fast-moving, results-oriented program that’s the only one of its kind. You can learn to change your teaching and school environment in ways that successfully reach students of poverty.

This powerful program gives you:

• Secrets to understanding the impoverished brain: Learn four ways it is physically and behaviorally different.
  
  
• Surprising insights into student behavior and solutions to the challenging behavior you see.
  
  
• Seven golden maximizers that can make significant, positive changes.
  
  
• Strategies for engagement, learning and achievement you can use to get proven, consistently positive results!

Almost 20% of America’s students live in poverty. Do you have specific strategies and a clear plan to help them succeed? If so, great. That’s the first step. But wait... is it (your plan) working? Here’s how to tell:

• Are you creating daily success stories?
• Do parents brag about your school to other parents?
• Are all of your kids feeling safe in school?
• How often is your school mentioned positively in the local papers?
• Do kids run TO school instead of away from school?
• What’s the conversation like in the staff lounge?
• What’s the trend in your test scores?

If you are not excited about how your school is doing, it’s time for a change... You may want to know about the upcoming highly engaging, classroom-practical, research-based, 4-day “Teaching with Poverty in Mind” event. Held in San Antonio, Texas, this amazing workshop will give you...The SECRETS TO HIGH-PERFORMING SCHOOLS.

I’ll share what the best schools do and what the new breakthrough research tells us to do. These successful schools do things differently. Here’s a taste of what I found:

• Relationships are important. But certain ones that you are ignoring actually turn out to be of critical “make or break” value.
  
  
• Certain events literally add new brain cells at double the rate of every other strategy you can use. More brain cells are correlated with better learning and memory. Learn what the secret is and what you should do ASAP.
  
  
• How much hope and optimism your kids feel at your school is more important for boosting achievement than their IQ. Learn how to build hope and optimism in 5 simple steps. Without it, all other strategies will fail.
  
  
• High expectations do matter, but only if your school does this one critical thing. Without it, you’ll get disillusionment and staff burnout. Learn what the missing ingredient is and your test scores will skyrocket.
  
  
• Out of all the strategies used by high-performing schools, one of them is the most fundamental. The best metaphor comes from something on your own desktop. Learn what it is and learn exactly what to do about it.

Discover why your students DON’T usually focus in class. Learn why you should NEVER, EVER, say, "PAY ATTENTION!" anymore. Find out how to get kids to focus, buy into the learning and persist over the long haul..

In this amazing 4-Day workshop, you’ll also learn the little-known “catalytic sub-factors” that make the others work. Here’s a nutrition analogy: you know that you need to take your calcium (yawn) for bone strength. But you must also take magnesium at the same time to help absorb the calcium-at a 2-1 ratio! Now, here’s the “kicker”. It is Vitamin D (sunshine!) that helps metabolize the calcium!

What does this have to do with your school? Now, you too can learn how to turn your school into a “believe or not” success story with “tears of joy” test scores. Hundreds of schools nationwide are already doing it. The poverty and student achievement problem has been researched for more than 30 years. Pieces of the solution have shown up in the popular books and press. Clues came from sociology, classroom teachers and even neuroscience. Finally, I will share the secrets with your staff.

GET STARTED NOW helping these students with genuine hope backed by science, and a step-by-step action plan!

Poverty has been analyzed and studied for years. The results are in: poverty changes brains. But did you know how it does the damage?

Here are six of the many ways:

Nutritional deficits. A myriad of food deficiencies lead to chronic behavioral, emotional and cognitive problems.

Emotional Support. Unfortunately, these students need support the most and get it the least.

Stress/Distress. There are far more daily stressors for those in poverty and they have fewer resources to deal with them.

Health Issues. A constant challenge for the poor, staying healthy is but a dream for most. But health affects everything.

Cognitive Stimulation. These students get less frequent and lower levels of quality intellectual fueling.

Safety Issues. These students are chronically unsafe, leading to changes in their brain.

“The presenter (Eric Jensen) was very engaging! Hope to attend another! Really enjoyed this.” Ms. Betancourt, San Antonio, TX

You will learn dozens of highly effective, innovative, real-world strategies for reaching these types of students. This workshop includes the all-new, 5- step program that proves you can reach every single learner.
