Highly recommend the course and book study. Very high opening and helping to understand more ways we can help students who struggle with generational or situational poverty. The addition of the book was also nice to connect back too.

What an amazing class! I loved this book and would recommend it to any teacher interested in helping students find resolutions to difficult situations. Brian Davis really knows how to uncover the root of what is needed to enhance our classrooms. I am also taking his advice on coming to my classroom the best version of myself..I bought a fitbit and have been more mindful about a healthy lifestyle.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Particularly due to the fact that I teach in a rural school district in Ohio. I thought Prof. Davis did an incredible job relating the book to our own teaching experiences. I cannot wait to take another class with Mr. Davis.

I have taken many courses through Fresno but this course really stands out as my favorite. I highly recommend taking this course to any teacher who wants to understand the life of children living in poverty and how to make a significant difference in the lives of those children.

The course was thoughtfully laid out and each module built on the prior learning. The class offered keen insights into working with students in poverty. It helped me to gain important background knowledge to work with this group, and it also gave me strategies to help meet the needs of my students in poverty.
