Findlay, Ohio — Techniques to help teachers successfully educate children who are products of generational poverty will be discussed during a public presentation at 7 p.m. March 15 in the Winebrenner Theological Seminary TLB Convocation Center, adjacent to The University of Findlay’s campus.

The presentation, “A Framework for Understanding Poverty,” will be led by Dr. Sue Nelle DeHart, a full-time consultant for author and teacher Dr. Ruby Payne.

Payne’s first written work, “Framework for Understanding Poverty,” addresses how students in poverty suffer from the hidden rules that govern how individuals behave in social classes. Her message is that children of poverty need not suffer from an educational system oblivious to their needs.

Payne speaks to an average of 200 groups a year in attempt to spread her message. Her six most requested programs have introduced educators along with judges, social workers, ministers, community leaders and health professionals to her research and observations that can help children of poverty succeed.

DeHart will discuss “hidden rules” within economic classes and how they affect behaviors and mindsets, as well as behavioral discipline intervention and how to successfully teach children from generational poverty that appear in Payne’s program “A Framework for Understanding Poverty.”
