Tweet Share
Download Session Handout
Students experiencing homelessness often have some of the most complex challenges to academic success which can have devastating effects on academic performance. Both the Title I and McKinney-Vento Acts provide a vehicle to ensuring positive academic outcomes for homeless students through collaboration, coordination, and complimentary provisions. This session will examine a basic outline for legal provisions that allow for interventions tailored to this group of students. Scenarios and interaction with experts from both programs at the local and state level will help participants move from policy lessons to implementation using examples of effective practices and quality programming that can be implemented in the home districts and states of session participants.
