Topics:
Framework for Understanding Economic Diversity
Do some students laugh when they are disciplined? Economic realities create ways of thinking and behaving. The closer one is to merely "surviving", the less time there is for the pursuit of learning. Hidden rules of behavior, language registers, resources, interventions, discipline, and creating relationships are the major topics to be discussed in understanding and successfully teaching children from generational poverty.
Hidden Rules Of Class At Work
Hidden Rules of Class at Work provides numerous tools for supervisors and managers to communicate effectively and help understand the motivations of their staff.
Includes tools to:
- Improve employee retention rate
- Raise productivity
- Assess your employees' strengths based on their resources
- Understand how the levels of an organization reflect the hidden rules of class
- Understand how economic class influences opportunities to develop resources
- Help develop employees to function at the level of the organization to which they have been promoted or at which you expect them to function
- Help determine for whom training dollars will have the most payoff using our assessment scale
- Build positive outlook in your workplace
Dr. Payne and Don Krabill based their book Hidden Rules of Class at Work (and the seminar of the same title) on their research study assessing the resources of people who had been promoted in the workplace. Do you know which resource was present in every case? Hear the answer in this workshop!
