Boosting literacy among school-age children remains a national priority.

Rice, Aviva Goelman; McCall, Linda Ann; Ogden, Jacqueline E. – National Youth-At-Risk Journal, 2017
Studies of children growing up in poverty describe increasingly devastating effects on many areas of development (e.g., cognitive, linguistic, socio-emotional, affective, psychomotor). Teachers need to be aware of these findings; they also need to develop empathy for their students living in poverty. One way to do this is to experience a poverty…

Research, community wisdom, and common sense tell us that families, schools, and the broader community need…

Winkler, Carol K.; Fortner, C. Kevin; Baugh-Harris, Sara – Forum on Public Policy Online, 2013

This…
