I know I am working toward using the criteria given in the article from the packet when choosing books for my students. I know I have not always done this and was once mid-book when I realized it wasn't a good choice for me to read (it was a Skippy John Jones book). I would encourage you and all those with Ruby Payne's book in their schools to challenge your administration on their decisions to incorporate her framework within your professional development.

I had heard of Ruby Payne but never been exposed to any of her work. I agree with you high expectations for every student is important. In a recent conversation about RTI with another teacher I realized that once I enter into the RTI process I do not have as high expectations for my students. After this realization I know I will try hard to keep high expectations for all of my students, even if they have difficulties. I really liked what Jody said in class " All children can think."

I had always heard Ruby Payne referred to as an expert on teaching children of poverty. The articles opened my eyes to realize she may not be an expert on this topic at all and it seems to be more of a money-making enterprise for her. I agree that teachers must maintain high expectations for all students, and provide experiences in which we require them to think critically. Thanks! Sandy Kim,

I agree with you in that setting high expectations for our students will help them to achieve higher goals.

Do you remember last year we had an area lead teacher ( I think that is who she was) gave us a small lecture on Ruby Payne. I remember she was so amazed with what Ruby was saying and felt strongly that we could benefit from reading her book. She sold me on it at the time..just because it seemed to make sense and I had never viewed it from the standpoint of seeing poor people in the "deficit" way. I never read the book because we never brought the subject up again in staff meetings but it is on my list of "Must Reads" now. I do appreciate these articles we have read in class because I will be reading it now with a critical eye. HaHa, I think we are supposed to revisit the book next year...you best believe I will be giving these articles to Mr. Bivens! Isn’t this eye opening?
