Although the McKinney-Vento Act has been around for over two decades, many district- and site-level practitioners have a difficult time interpreting and implementing the Act’s mandates within their local contexts. This book provides much-needed guidance to help educational leaders support students who are homeless and highly mobile students who face significant barriers related to access and academic success. The authors employ several different strategies to help translate complex state and federal policies into effective practices. They include policy analysis, examples of successful approaches, tools for training staff, youth experiences, and address the role of school districts in serving marginalized students. \u003cem\u003eServing Students Who Are Homeless\u003c\/em\u003e can be used as a professional development tool at the local and district level, and as a textbook in higher education settings that prepare entry-level and advanced-credential administrators, counselors, school psychologists, and curriculum leaders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuidance for understanding and implementing the law and tools for training staff.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCase studies that include the voices of students, families, and practitioners.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuestions and activities to facilitate professional development discussions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I have worked in this realm for more than a decade and, sadly, the numbers of homeless families and children continue to rise.
