CANTON -- Paul Gorski, associate professor at George Mason University, will speak at 7 p.m. Feb. 26 in St. Lawrence University’s Eben Holden to present “Reaching and Teaching Students in Poverty: Strategies for Erasing the Opportunity Gap.”

Gorski, professor of social justice and education, will draw from decades of research to deconstruct popular myths, misconceptions, and educational practices that undercut the achievement of low-income students.

He describes challenges that students in poverty face and the resiliencies they and their families draw upon.

His research provides specific, evidence-based strategies for teaching by creating equitable, bias-free learning environments. Info: Erin at 229-5061.
