    Q1 - Poverty is a lot of things (economic, environmental, social, political, etc.) but for me it is a severe lack of some key component of life: food, water, shelter, caring, education, etc. or a combination of some or all of these components. #Globaledchat
  • ApraRalli May 31 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    #Globaledchat A1. Poverty is deprivation, hunger, squalor, need
  • fmargret May 31 @ 8:08 PM EDT

    A1 #globaledchat Not having clean water, a place to live, food insecurity, lack of resources, lack of or no education/opportunities..
  • ByronTFrancis May 31 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    I’m running 2 global citizen programs. One for teens and on for middle schoolers as part of the larger summer camp at the Draper Boys and Girls Club in Metro Atlanta. #GlobalEdChat

    A1: Absolute poverty measures poverty in relation to the amount of money necessary to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. #GlobalEdChat #TeachSDGs

  • annmaria_tierno May 31 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: Poverty is when people do not have the financial resources available to feed or house themselves. #globaledchat
  • mexusmx May 31 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1: Poverty indicates the absence of a basic need that impacts a person's ability to provide for themselves and/or their family. #GlobalEdChat

    In reply to @fmargret
  • ACTforEducation May 31 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1: Poverty is when being able to care for yourself and your family is so consuming that you can’t think about anything else. When basic living is difficult day to day. #Globaledchat
  • rensink_connie May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Relative poverty defines poverty in relation to the economic status of other members of the society: people are poor if they fall below prevailing standards of living in a given societal context #GlobalEdChat #TeachSDGs
  • AsiaSocietyEDU - Moderator May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    I like the simplicity of that. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @kellyforwonder
  • TeacherWinters May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    It has a ripple effect on so many issues surrounding the individual that it is easy to see poverty as just a monetary issue, but it is so much more than that. #globaledchat
    In reply to @themuddyweaver
  • noel_hoffmann May 31 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: Poverty means that you do not have the money to meet your basic needs. #globaledchat

    In reply to @TeacherWinters

    A1: Poverty can be of food, family, friends, literacy - it comes in so many forms and none that I can think of are good. #globaledchat #edmodolove

    A1 I see poverty as lacking the ability to have one's basic financial & medical resources & rights being met or allowed to be met, as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights #Globaledchat
  • hsingmaster - Moderator May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2: The technology gap or "homework gap" affects students in poverty in the US, leaving them behind. North Carolina is working to improve access in libraries now that all K-12 schools in the state have broadband access: https://t.co/rsSSBNIFQb #globaledchat #edtech
  • TeacherWinters May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2 - Without access to the basic needs of the 20th century, how will a person succeed in the 21st century. Basic needs are no longer just land, food, family, and security, and without tech and education a person is condemned to poverty. #Globaledchat
  • fmargret May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    This, all day, should be something that empowers us to work towards a better solution. #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @kellyforwonder
  • noel_hoffmann May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2: Basic needs must be met before you can concentrate on education. If I don't have enough to eat, my thoughts are going to be consumed with food. #globaledchat
  • larkscience May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1 Quantitatively or qualitatively there is a definiciency basic needs and instead there are stressors that disrupt a quality of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. #GlobalEdChat
  • ByronTFrancis May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A1: Great question. I define poverty being able to sufficiently satisfy basic needs keeping in mind “needs” and our understanding of poverty is also relative and should be kept in social context. #GlobalEdChat
  • mexusmx May 31 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    A2: By increasing access you can have an immediate impact on the community by providing opportunities not previous available. #Globaledchat
  • MLisad May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    It is important so everyone has equal opportunities or chances available...unfortunately this is not the case #globaledchat
  • AsiaSocietyEDU - Moderator May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    Very true. Here in WA, education orgs worked for a long time to pass a "Breakfast after the Bell" law to help mitigate that issue for students: https://t.co/VgTFMwCJPW #GlobalEdChat
    In reply to @noel_hoffmann
  • carrierenfro May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2: According to Maslow, students struggle with a capacity to learn if their basic needs are not met - this goes for everyone and productivity #globaledchat #edmodolove
  • ACTforEducation May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2: Because those are things that define not just wealth but the opportunity to systematically gain generational wealth that will close not just the wage gap but also the wealth gap. #GlobalEdChat
  • kkidsinvt May 31 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A2 #globaledchat All of this matters because all people need to fuel themselves with proper nutrition to provide strength, health, well being while also “feeding” minds to feel a part of a solution, grow a positive mindset and pursue passions that promote independence.

  • lscott1967 May 31 @ 8:17 PM EDT
    A2. People need equal access to tools to lift themselves out of poverty. Women need to be able to own the land they work and control the money they earn. Girls need equal access to education. Why I love advocating for initiatives as a @ONEinAmerica member. #GlobalEdChat 1/2

    Q3: What are some local issues you could use to teach about poverty in your school/organization? #GlobalEdChat
  • kmurfitt1 May 31 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    A2: Equal access to basic services is important because without access we can only create temporary help and not empower others with skills and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. #globaledchat

    #Globaledchat A2 inequality in access to technology and opportunities puts kids who already start with the obstacle of poverty even farther behind. Access to technology can provide support, knowledge, inspiration to kids whose reality may limit their opportunities.

  • AsiaSocietyEDU - Moderator May 31 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A3: Seattle has the 3rd-largest homeless population in the U.S., and many local students are part of that population. This is an important issue to discuss in the classroom that highlights one very visible facet of poverty: https://t.co/GmiRCRQOWP #globaledchat
  • ACTforEducation May 31 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    Poverty isn’t an individual issue. It’s the arbitrary nature of birth and circumstance that we end up where we are. There is nothing in my character that makes me more deserving and there are systems put in place to keep others in their place. #globaledchat

    In an attempt to prevent poverty discussions from prompting shame, pity or despair in our students, we frame our study around the @Nicholas Kristof quote: “TALENT IS UNIVERSAL, OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT". #Globaledchat

      Q5: Poverty can be a sensitive topic. What are some challenges you face when teaching about poverty?#GlobalEdChat

    A5: Our school is 100% low SES. I help students discover global poverty. My students feel blessed and not so poor compared to many others in the world. #globaledchat #edmodolove
  • ACTforEducation May 31 @ 8:52 PM EDT
    And the lingering systemic issues that are in place to keep groups at those levels. We can’t pretend like they don’t exist. There are many that are afraid that if one group rises then they will fall. #globaledchat

    Great point. We need to see even the smallest act of kindness, respect and dignity for any person who needs a hand as the best use of our time, talent and treasure. #BecauseItIs #GlobalEdChat

      Start with one small thing and just keep moving forward! It keeps me from getting overwhelmed with everything going on in the world. #globaledchat

    A5: I advocate for support of programs designed to end poverty/preventable disease through my work as a @ONEinAmerica volunteer. We have a lot of challenges in US, too, so it can be hard to convince people to support foreign aid, which is less than 1% of our budget. #GlobalEdChat

    A7 Inquiry lessons that have students analyze primary sources to find answers & solutions. The Inquiry Design Model provides a good template here to do inquiry & take informed action https://t.co/gwSnssVwyn #globaledchat
  • TeacherWinters May 31 @ 8:55 PM EDT
    A7 - If we want students to take action, we need to show by example how to do that. Last year I had a student ask me if I was helping with refugees, at that point no. So I went out and volunteered my time to mentor some refugees applying for graduate school. #Globaledchat

    A7: providing Ss with opportunities for service learning but also making the connections re: policies that exist that contribute to the ongoing need for assistance is vital. #globaledchat
  • PhilipWagener May 31 @ 8:56 PM EDT
    A7) Allow students to become agents of change by providing a platform for students to explore, design, create, and share their ideas with the world! #GlobalEdChat

    A7: Challenging students to ask deeper questions and to find answers that affect systems. #GlobalEdChat #TeachSDGs https://t.co/Y22ee8TgrD
  • TeacherWinters May 31 @ 8:57 PM EDT
    Agreed. It is the Catch 22 lie that groups in poverty are often told: If that other group rises then you will fall lower due to lack of resources. Simply not true. The connection between literacy and getting out of poverty is a great example. #Globaledchat

    A7: I think social activism may play a role. Helping Ss themselves speak up about inequities in their schools and neighborhoods. Giving them the tools they need. They often find their own ways. Their minds are open and creative. They always think outside of the box. #globaledchat

    I so agree. Community service opens their eyes, but they need to think more deeply about how we got there and why we need safety nets to be in place. Encouraging them to ask questions is an opportunity to learn. #globaledchat
