What research has led to this request?
Teachers who teach students who live in poverty, tend to be ill prepared to meet the challenges to effectively support the needs of these students. Poverty impacts the daily lives of P-12 students by creating challenges, stressors, cognitive delays, and health and safety issues. This is one of two courses that will be offered that will provide CCU teacher preparation majors with the foundational knowledge pertaining to poverty, its impact in education and student academic attainment. These two course will also prepare them for the add-on endorsement in Teaching Children of Poverty in the South Carolina.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
No negative impact on existing academic programs. This course will enhance currents teacher preparation majors by providing a better understanding of their students and providing a more appropriate support and guidance for the students' academic success.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
Because courses will be taught by existing faculty, based on need.
