What are the homelessness impacts of students attendance and how can we help? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our research is going to answer what are the homelessness impacts of students\n attendance and how can we help. Homelessness is defined by The \nMcKinney-Vento Act as children and youth who lack a fixed, regular and \nadequate nighttime residence. Wharton University of Pennsylvania defines\n social impact as an organizations actions that have on the wellbeing of\n the community. Research from Allison Howland\u2019s article: Exploring \nsocio-demographics, mobility, and living arrangement as risk factors for\n academic performance among children experiencing homelessness showing \nhomeless students are more likely to be held back from grade to grade, \nbe chronically absent, fail courses, have more disciplinary issues, and \ndrop out of high school than their non-homeless peers. What we can do as\n educators include targeted interventions, increased interactions with \nfamily members, collaboration with supportive district, community-based \nprogram, ensuring emotional safety of students, and create support, \nstructure and opportunity. Another avenue of help is a district wide \nhomelessness liaison. We can connect the effected youth and family with \nthis liaison who can connect them to a variety of programs such as \nhousing, health care and shelters. To ensure the attendance of these \nyouth in crisis, we can learn about the homeless student stability \nprogram implemented in Washington for a preventative measure and can \nalso teach value to oneself and take the focus off the economic \nculture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
