Abstract	Landsman explores the qualities that enable teachers to effectively work with students who are homeless or live in extreme poverty. The most effective strategy seems to be maintaining high expectations. Successful teachers "cut deals" with students, finding ways to connect school work to students' life concerns and helping them successfully to complete requirements in spite of the obstacles that accompany living in poverty. Landsman shares stories of how teachers sensitively find out about the realities of students' home lives and meet students' day-to-day needs. She ends with a plea to resist current trends toward rigid, programmatic teaching approaches for low-income students. She exhorts teachers to become activists for equity in education--and make their students allies in the struggle. (Contains 1 endnote.) (Author).
