註釋Poverty has a profound impact on children's learning and achievement--and with this timely resource, psychologists, administrators, and educators in K-12 settings will learn to be sensitive to the challenges poverty poses and discover ways to efficiently improve the academic skills of their students. This volume gives readers the latest research-based clinical and educational approaches to working effectively with children and families from poverty, enabling them to implement individual, classroom, or schoolwide supports that foster academic success and a positive school climate.

Education professionals will discover how to

  • Use proven education methods successfully in their own school settings--including response to intervention, social skills training, and schoolwide positive behavioral support
  • Encourage family participation and learn to recognize family strengths and risks through building relationships
  • Address the hottest topics in education-including working with English-language learners, improving behavior, and promoting literacy skills
A well-rounded professional resource, this expert volume covers all the angles--epidemiological, biological, historical, socio-political, cultural, educational, and psychological--to provide readers with a true appreciation of the challenges facing students and families from poverty. Education can be the ticket out of poverty--and professionals will now have the know-how and tools they need to better help children overcome barriers, raise their academic performance, and improve their quality of life.
