| Abstract | In response to the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act and its amendments, most urban schools have created special programs for homeless students to help them succeed academically and to offer them access to social services and a safe and stress-free environment. Recruitment, enrollment, and service coordination policies are adapted to the needs of the children and the community. Ways to educate homeless students range from total segregation to complete mainstreaming. Educating homeless children in schools for them alone may be prohibitively expensive. Another way to serve homeless children as a group is to move classes to shelters to reach children who cannot come to school. Integrating homeless children into the school as quickly as possible is a more common approach, intended to avoid stigmatization and to nurture the psychosocial development of the students. Increasing overall well-being is the goal of most school policies for homeless students, whether they focus on instruction, curriculum, tutoring, or ancillary services. Respect and caring can do as much as discrete educational strategies. (Contains 6 references.) (SLD) |
