Leadership Skills for Working with Kids in Poverty

Leadership does not solely reside in the principal's office, but how can new teachers get involved in school leadership?

William Parrett shares an example of how a veteran teacher and a 2nd-year teacher are collaboratively leading an effort to successfully transition 65 new limited-English-proficient students into their school. He also shares some of the beliefs and practices that will help educators provide targeted interventions for students coping with poverty, without singling out or stigmatizing students as "the poor kids."
