In the meantime, Ryan plans to take a course on Ruby Payne's Understanding the Framework of Poverty. Perhaps this could provide the backbone of a fall class discussion/reading series. Another Payne title that might be worth looking into is called Research-Based Strategies Narrowing the Achievement Gap for Under-Resourced Students.
