A Framework for Understanding Poverty

Three new chapters on the brain, intersectionality, and parents. Discover simple, proven strategies that schools can start using today. The Framework lens has become more focused since its initial publication, and the premise is unchanged: Middle-class understandings of poverty are often ill-suited for connecting with people in poverty and helping build resources. New case studies and an evolving understanding of poverty's intersections with race, health, and immigration are included in these best practices teachers can use immediately to improve outcomes.
