Bandwidth recovery for schools : helping Pre-K-12 students regain cognitive resources lost to poverty, trauma, racism, and social marginalization / Cia Verschelden ; foreword by Kofi Lomotey.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-203) and index.
Summary:
"This book makes the case that societal realities--such as poverty, racism, and social marginalization--result in depleted cognitive resources for students and for those who are trying to help them succeed. This book is for teachers, parents, school leaders, and members of communities who are interested in the well-being of children and youth and the education of all our children. All of us have a stake in a public school system from which students emerge as fully-formed learners and thinkers and who believe in their ability to affect what happens to them and their communities"-- Provided by publisher.
