Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the problems of educating disadvantaged youth often seem overwhelming, this volume provides optimistic insights on the subject. All of the contributors are committed to the principle that disadvantaged children can be served by schools. They recommend major policy changes, dramatic alterations of school structures and practices, and fundamentally different ways of viewing both disadvantaged youth and effective schooling. The volume presents an interdisciplinary approach to research and a collaborative approach to school-based interventions. The topics covered include family involvement in schooling; linguistic contexts of schooling; political and social policy analyses; school practices; and the role of foundations in supporting school improvement. The focal groups include young children, young and older adolescents, ethnic and linguistic minorities, and families. The first section of the volume focuses on issues facing policymakers and educators. The second section focuses on linkages among children's learning in schools, families and community-based agencies and programs. The final section examines school practices that affect the performance of disadvantaged and minority students in existing school structures.

Book excerpt: In Teaching with Poverty in Mind: What Being Poor Does to Kids' Brains and What Schools Can Do About It, veteran educator and brain expert Eric Jensen takes an unflinching look at how poverty hurts children, families, and communities across the United States and demonstrates how schools can improve the academic achievement and life readiness of economically disadvantaged students. Jensen argues that although chronic exposure to poverty can result in detrimental changes to the brain, the brain's very ability to adapt from experience means that poor children can also experience emotional, social, and academic success. A brain that is susceptible to adverse environmental effects is equally susceptible to the positive effects of rich, balanced learning environments and caring relationships that build students' resilience, self-esteem, and character. Drawing from research, experience, and real school success stories, Teaching with Poverty in Mind reveals * What poverty is and how it affects students in school; * What drives change both at the macro level (within schools and districts) and at the micro level (inside a student's brain); * Effective strategies from those who have succeeded and ways to replicate those best practices at your own school; and * How to engage the resources necessary to make change happen. Too often, we talk about change while maintaining a culture of excuses. We can do better. Although no magic bullet can offset the grave challenges faced daily by disadvantaged children, this timely resource shines a spotlight on what matters most, providing an inspiring and practical guide for enriching the minds and lives of all your students.
Download or read book The Problems of Disadvantaged Youth written by Jonathan Gruber and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important public policy issues in the United States is how to improve the life prospects of disadvantaged youth who, in their formative years, face low-quality school systems, poor access to health care, and high-crime environments. The Problems of Disadvantaged Youth includes a broad range of research examining various aspects of disadvantage, and ways of increasing the ability of low-income youths to improve their circumstances later in life. Taking an empirical economics perspective, the nine essays in this volume assess the causal impacts of disadvantage on youth outcomes, and how policy interventions can alleviate those impacts. Each chapter develops a framework to describe the relationship between youths and later life outcomes, addressing such factors as educational opportunity, health, neighborhood crime rates, and employment. This vital book documents the serious short- and long-term negative consequences of childhood disadvantage and provides nuanced evidence of the impact of public policy designed to help needy children.
