The Truth About Childhood Homelessness
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This clip with Erin Patterson of SchoolHouse Connection explores the often-overlooked reality of childhood homelessness, particularly for families with children. We learn that many children experiencing homelessness are having to "double up" with others, making them part of the invisible people in our communities.
These real-life stories shed light on how economic inequality contributes to the challenges faced by children experiencing homelessness.
Housing instability is one of the biggest hidden drivers of low engagement, classroom behavior challenges, and student motivation struggles. The whole child can't thrive when they don't know where they're sleeping tonight.
This is what equity in education and a pro-kid mindset actually look like in practice, when we see the full picture of a child's life.
