Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates migration selectivity by socioeconomic status and its implications for community development and cumulative disadvantage for economically marginal places. In this thesis, I examine incidence of "poverty migration" (Fitchen 1995) of poor families into areas experiencing economic hardship and decline, documenting the effect on the economic status and social service capacity of receiving communities. Taking Upstate New York as the focus of my inquiry, I conduct a multi-method, multi-level research project to: (1) identify economically marginal places which appear to have experienced or are in the process of experiencing patterns of in-migration of poor families; (2) identify the characteristics of places which appear more at risk of experiencing such in-migration, and; (3) determine the effects of in-migration of poor families on community social service carrying capacity, and impacts on social structure of receiving communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While research and policy debates center on residents moving out of public housing, many families still live in public housing around the country; it is important to consider how to improve their well-being. Approximately 1.2 million units of public housing provide housing for about 3 million tenants throughout the country. In New York City, there are 180,000 units of public housing--more than any other city in the United States. These developments house an estimated 130,000 children, or about one out of every nine students in New York City's public schools. Despite these large numbers, there has been little examination of the life chances of the families and children living in the City's many public housing complexes. There has been virtually no work done in any city to analyze the academic performance of children and teens living in public housing. To fill this gap, NYU's Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy and its Institute for Education and Social Policy came together to examine the school performance of children living in housing managed by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) and compare their educational outcomes with the outcomes of other comparable students who do not live in public housing. While this policy brief points to an achievement gap between students who live in NYCHA housing and those who do not, the data does not allow for the isolation of the reason for the disparity. Key findings include: (1) Public school students living in NYCHA housing are concentrated in a handful of schools; (2) NYCHA students attend schools in which their peers are more likely to be poor and more likely to be racial and ethnic minorities; (3) Even controlling for differences in race, gender, nativity status, and school characteristics, 5th grade students living in public housing perform worse on standardized tests than those living elsewhere; (4) The gap persists at the high school level, but is a little less pronounced; and (5) Neighborhoods matter--NYCHA students living in high-poverty neighborhoods score lower on standardized tests than NYCHA students living in lower poverty neighborhoods. The challenge for policymakers is to undertake research that will provide better understanding of the factors that contribute to the troubling gap between the academic performance of NYCHA students and that of their peers.

Download or read book Many Children Left Behind written by Deborah Meier and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004-09-29 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signed into law in 2002, the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) promised to revolutionize American public education. Originally supported by a bipartisan coalition, it purports to improve public schools by enforcing a system of standards and accountability through high-stakes testing. Many people supported it originally, despite doubts, because of its promise especially to improve the way schools serve poor children. By making federal funding contingent on accepting a system of tests and sanctions, it is radically affecting the life of schools around the country. But, argue the authors of this citizen's guide to the most important political issue in education, far from improving public schools and increasing the ability of the system to serve poor and minority children, the law is doing exactly the opposite. Here some of our most prominent, respected voices in education-including school innovator Deborah Meier, education activist Alfie Kohn, and founder of the Coalition of Essential Schools Theodore R. Sizer-come together to show us how, point by point, NCLB undermines the things it claims to improve: * How NCLB punishes rather than helps poor and minority kids and their schools * How NCLB helps further an agenda of privatization and an attack on public schools * How the focus on testing and test preparation dumbs down classrooms * And they put forward a richly articulated vision of alternatives. Educators and parents around the country are feeling the harshly counterproductive effects of NCLB. This book is an essential guide to understanding what's wrong and where we should go from here.
