About the Book Study: Using Dr. Payne's newest book "Emotional Poverty," this book study will help educators address anger, anxiety, and violence in the classroom with strategies that work across grade levels and demographic boundaries.

Under-resourced students, wealthy students, and students in all demographics can benefit from Dr. Payne's techniques. Looking for more info on the book? Click on the video below for a short introduction of the book by Dr. Ruby Payne.

This text and book study will:

• Provide participants with a deeper understanding of the origins of anger, anxiety, and avoidance
• Present a common language that all educators can use to talk about brain regulation, integration, and emotional competence
• Help educators manage the “classroom dance” that occurs between the educator and the students
• Provide tools for educators to address and reduce anger, anxiety, and avoidance
• Help school officials identify the differences in male and female emotional processing according to Dr. Payne's framework.
• Provide the tools to motivate good behavior
