Abstract
This chapter discusses aspects of social justice pedagogy for teachers of students living in poverty. Statistical data are presented for context of what poverty is and how it impacts children and families. Theoretical frameworks are provided to help the reader understand how systemic oppression interacts with poverty in the public school system. Foundations for growth in social justice teaching are provided followed by effective models of teaching for children experiencing poverty. Throughout the chapter, the author provides first person accounts as examples for understanding practical applications of the content.
