Changing Lives: Lawyers Fighting for Children
Educating Students Experiencing Homelessness (5th Ed.)
Educating Students Experiencing Homelessness (5th Ed.)
This revised edition addresses the federal educational mandates related to homeless students under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The manual provides innovative strategies for educators and school administrators, state coordinators and policymakers, and advocates and attorneys to play a role in ensuring the education rights of children and youth experiencing homelessness.
The new edition addresses recent changes in federal law and regulations. It addresses redetermining homeless status, best practices for serving students displaced by natural disasters, early childhood education, relevant federal guidance, and case summaries. It includes a section on foster care, making it an excellent resource for child welfare caseworkers and advocates.
This fifth edition contains strategies to assist communities to exceed compliance and move toward greater commitment - including information on collaborating with community agencies. It also includes a directory of resources for educators, advocates, and policymakers.
Drafted by leading experts on the education rights of homeless children and youth, this best-selling ABA book is the most comprehensive resource on the education of students experiencing homelessness available. Readers have praised the book for its brief, yet comprehensive, easy-to-understand format, commenting on its similarity to a how-to handbook. Many State Departments of Education (as well as school districts) have purchased it in bulk and distributed copies to liaisons, as well as to each school district and school administrator.
