If a student comes from a low-income family, how do we help him work toward overcoming the cycle of poverty and experience success?

- implement different programs (breakfast program), universal programs so that people aren't singled out, food for focus
- being aware of the self-fulfilling prophecy - not stereotyping poverty
- distribution of resources, tapping into programs that benefit your children (e.g. hockey, swimming lessons), focusing on what's available for kids that need it - extra experiences for kids to connect with people outside their community
- career treks - mentorship programs; bring in guest speakers so that kids have role models for attainable jobs - connecting with programs - Tallman Foundation - that can provide funding for post-secondary costs, scholarships, bursaries
- having programs that help kids feel a part of something, connected to something (e.g. flag rugby program)
- after school programs, consider childcare costs out of reach for families living in poverty
- family night, breakfast programs, assemblies honouring student achievement
- programs for all students whether exists a need, perhaps outside of monetary poverty
- having high expectations for your students, being aware of your expectations
- if you see that there are students who are in need to provide resources
- considering parental support
- all students are capable, look for strengths
