Abstract | There are approximately 1.5 million children in the United States who go to sleep each night without a home of their own (National Center on Family Homelessness, 2009). In this article, we provide insights into how educators can create greater classroom support, particularly in literacy learning and development, for this population. Drawing from our work with families living in homeless shelters in two diverse regions in the United States, we share the voices of: 1) a director of a homeless shelter; 2) a principal of a school with many students who are homeless; 3) a teacher who has many students in her classroom who do not have homes; 4) a parent living in a homeless shelter; and 5) a child living in a homeless shelter. Following each stakeholder's comments, we ask what teachers can learn from this. The article concludes with specific recommendations for educators. (Contains 1 note.) (As Provided). |
