Abstract
In Teaching With Poverty in Mind , Eric Jensen shares that some policies that have an impact on students raised in poverty are ones that support the whole child and have an enrichment mindset (2009). Supporting the whole child means addressing social, emotional, and health-related challenges that kids face every day. An enrichment-focused program “fosters intellectual curiosity, emotional engagement, and social bonding… and prepare [students] to succeed in life.” (p. 94)
