Action #1. Make It Their Idea |
Excerpt taken from Page 74 of Eric Jensens's Book:
Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind |
Many kids feel like the world "happens" to them. In psychology, this mindset is referred to as low locus of control. When a person is confronted with an adverse situation or person and feels limited control to manage it, his or her brain feels stress. Thus, it makes sense that students who are accustomed to poverty or other adverse circumstances have developed certain coping skills to strengthen their locus of control: if they sense their world getting out of control, they may show anger, helplessness, apathy, or all three. |
