If you had the opportunity to visit with Dr. Payne over coffee, what are two open-ended questions you would likely ask her regarding the framework?
The first question I would ask is, how do you approach families entrenched in generational poverty to think about the future instead of instant gratification? Meaning how do you help them bridge the gap into thinking about the long term?
The second quesiton I would ask is, if you had a magic wand and could have any resources at the tip of your fingers. What top three resources would you provide to help families in poverty?

EDL 711 Prompt 2
What are some things that you will implement ( or have already implemented) and/or do differently regarding your interactions with children and/or adults resulting from your understanding of Payne's framework?
The one thing that I will implement is the "The Adult Voice" with all my students. The adult voice can be "non-judgmental, free of negative non-verbal, factual, often in question format, attitude of win-win."(Payne) I think sometimes teachers (myself included) feel they need to use an authoritative voice all of the time. I feel using adult voice strategies promotes maturity and empowerment within a student. I want to be the teacher that empowers students to the maximize thier potential.

EDL 711 Prompt 1
As a teacher leader, what are three key understandings you learned from the Payne text that youwould deem appropriate for sharing witha colleague, administrator, and/or parent?
The first key understanding I learned is the role of language used in poverty. I learned that students who are considered in poverty do not have access to formal language or registers. "The ability to use formal register is a hidden rule of the middle class."(Payne) The problem is that these students are at a disadvantage when trying to accomplish the following things: taking a state-wide assessment, communicating with people in middle or upper class, and applying or interviewing for a well paying job. I selected this understanding because I feel it is important to educate students who are considered poverty the language the will maximize thier potential to promote success in the future.
The second key understanding I learned is generational poverty and the importance of resources. "Poverty is the extent to which an individual does without resources" I selected this understanding because the implimentation of support systems can eliminate generational poverty. I think it is important and freeing to know that simple relationships or support systems can help end poverty for a learner.
The third key understanding I learned is the importance of discipline. Out of all the key understandings I choose, discipline is the one that can be the most recognize by most people. For example, one would not need to be poor to recognize the neccessity for discipline. Discipline is needed because it guides learners to the right path.
