Dr. Scott Schwartz has been a speech language pathologist for more than 35 years. He currently works for the Boulder Valley School District and teaches a graduate level class at CU-Boulder.
Scott received his M. A. from Ohio University and his Ph. D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has taught in the Boston Public Schools, and the Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin before moving to Boulder in 1995. Scott has worked with students from all age groups, economic backgrounds, and has always supported and learned from individuals with significant disabilities as well as those with speech sound or language disorders.
After years of observing and researching the disparity in academic performance between students from poverty and those who are not, Scott has taken a special interest in the academic, behavioral, and physiological impact of poverty and trauma on the individual student. Scott presents information on the impact of poverty and trauma on language, cognition, and brain development and how this relates to academic performance and behavior. Scott shares strategies on how we can better serve all our students with respect, compassion, and empathy through trauma informed care to reduce the impact of poverty and trauma on the individual student in the school setting
"Poverty and Trauma: The Impact on School Performance"
There is a robust and consistent literature on the impact of poverty and childhood trauma on academic performance and behavior. Children born into poverty are at a higher risk of being exposed to childhood trauma. The relationship between poverty and trauma will be discussed as well as the academic, behavioral, and physiological impact of poverty and trauma on the individual student. This discussion will include information on language, cognition, and brain development and how this relates to academic performance and behavior. Strategies will be presented on how we can better serve all our students with respect, compassion, and empathy through trauma informed care to reduce the impact of poverty and trauma on the individual student in the school setting.
Scott will be presenting during the Conference on Friday!
