Abstract	According to the Children's Defense Fund, 17.6% of American children live in poverty--about one of every six children. The numbers are rising, and, alarmingly, the number of children living in extreme poverty--families with incomes at or below 50% of the poverty line--is rising even more dramatically. They live in cities, towns and rural areas. Some teachers find themselves teaching impoverished children by happenstance. Others have been recruited, with various incentives, specifically to work in high-poverty areas. But are they equipped to teach children in poverty? And what might help them succeed? "Teaching Tolerance" visited three schools that successfully work with children from impoverished backgrounds. Educators in each school offer a glimpse of what works. Some have created their own programs. Others draw from established programs. In the end, their words echo each other, focusing on the motto of Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), a school-based academic support program for grades 5 through 12: Rigor plus support equals success.
