Since the living situation of each student greatly impacts their learning, it must be considered in order for the teachers to meet the unique needs of their students. While some students may come from wealthy families, other students may come from low-income families. If a student grows up in a wealthy family, they are likely to receive more educational resources and their family will more likely be highly involved in their learning. On the other hand, if a student comes from a low-income family, they might not have access to additional educational resources and their family might not have ample time to be involved in their learning. These stark differences will greatly influence the academic abilities of students and must be taken into consideration when cooperating with students.
Watch the video below to see what one organization (The BIP Lab) is doing to increase parental involvement and provide equitable education to all students, no matter their family's income level.
