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.
