Many times it has felt that as educators we have been in a constant battle defending our profession, our schools and our students. Some of those attacks have come from those who are not in education and make their attacks based on one snapshot of a school's make-up, rather than all the factors which contribute to student success. Think about your first year teaching and how much the population you serve has changed...question is...have you change how you instruct?
Check our the following article in regards to the populations were are serving in our schools and how that contributes to outcomes. I found it eye opening that in 2011, 37% of the school population in South Dakota was considered "low income".
