In their article in Brain World, "Neurons and Neighborhoods: Addressing Inner City Education through Brain Awareness," Nicole Dean discusses one reason children in low-income neighborhoods fall behind their peers academically...
"Child psychologists theorize that these children often fail to thrive because they lack adequate 'control beliefs' — the belief that one can change their own circumstances in life. Some of the most successful intervention programs focus on developing a more positive, can-do spirit. In these programs, educators shift attention away from grades and tests toward overall growth. In this way, the overall trajectory of a student's learning is the focus, and failures are redefined as learning opportunities."
