How do we define Poverty?• Poverty is a state of deprivation, lacking the usual
or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions. (Merriam-Webster)
• The most common measure of poverty in the U.S. is the "poverty threshold" set by the U.S. government. This measure recognizes poverty as a lack of those goods and services commonly taken for granted by members of mainstream society. official threshold is adjusted for inflation using the consumer price index. (U.S. Census Bureau)

Jensen’s definition of Poverty?
Poverty is a chronic experience resulting from an aggregate of
adverse social and economic risk factors. (Poor Students, Rich
Learning 2016)
![Page 7: Educating the New Kids on the Block in our Country Schools](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58ee331b1a28abcd0c8b4569/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“Human and social capital helps families improve their earnings potential and accumulate assets, gain access to safe neighborhoods and high quality services (such as medical care, schooling), and expand their networks and social connections.”
-National Center for Children in Poverty, May 2008
![Page 8: Educating the New Kids on the Block in our Country Schools](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58ee331b1a28abcd0c8b4569/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Downward Social Mobility• Middle Class: odds are
25% that you’ll be poor in the next 10 years
• We are all one tragedy away from living in poverty
(Jensen 2016)
