Poverty Informed Practice
Keeping those with the least, in mind first.
About Poverty Informed Practice
Born from a lifetime of wanting to level the playing field, Poverty Informed Practice is the moniker Chad Dull has assigned to an approach for better serving individuals in the crisis of poverty. With a three part focus on safety, belong, and progress; Poverty Informed Practice shifts the way we see the individuals we serve. It goes beyond welcoming them to the spaces we reside in and demonstrates they are wanted in those spaces

Poverty Informed Practice in Education: 10 Actions to Try Now!
I wrote a book!
My book is intended to be accessible and actionable for anyone who wants to do better work to help people get out of poverty. It treats poverty as a systemic issue, not a character flaw, and lets us talk about a topic most of us were told to keep quiet about. Please take a look and let's dispel "bootstrap" myths together!
How we can help
I am available for keynote presentations, customized workshops, as well as individual consultation. I am effective at presenting probing questions to inspire a bias for action. By changing the discourse and challenging basic assumptions surrounding social class, I can help create an environment of inclusion and equity which changes your place of business and drives positive outcomes for the people you serve.
