Sinopsis

Join Joshua Duncan on his pursuit to overcome the obstacles of poverty in a lower income elementary school. Lessons from the Back of the Line: How Teachers Change the Trajectory of Lower Income Students is a collection of true stories told by a former teacher who has lived through the same challenges his lower income students face. From incarcerated family members to abandonment, from a fundamental lack of knowledge on issues ranging from money management to eating healthy foods, from highlighting the desperate need of mentors for his students to teaching them how to control their anger and develop problem-solving skills, Josh offers an intimate portrait of why he became a teacher to impoverished students. A poignant, thoughtful, and practical memoir, this groundbreaking book explores the many challenges these teachers, not to mention their students, face. An entrepreneur, CEO of the marketing firm Software Blueprint, LLC, and founder of the non-profit Ascension Leadership Group uplifting lower income youth, Josh reveals how, working together, dedicated teachers can help lower income students overcome the odds stacked against them.
