Resumen del Editor

New chapters on the brain, intersectionality, and parents. Simple, proven strategies that schools can start using today. With a view through an economic lens that has only become sharper and more focused since its initial publication in 1995, the premise owned by A Framework for Understanding Poverty is unchanged: Middle-class understandings of children and adults in poverty are often ill-suited for connecting with people in poverty and helping them build up the resources to rise out of poverty and into self-sufficiency.

Nearly 25 years and 1.8 million copies later, innumerable individuals and groups have used this book to create a groundswell of responses to the challenge of poverty. Educators, social service and healthcare workers, law enforcement and the judiciary, communities, employers, and individuals from all walks of life are engaged in supporting children and adults to build resources, patterns of learning, and behaviors that will help them exit poverty.

Expanded edition includes:

• Best practices teachers can use immediately to improve outcomes
• Deep dives into the mindsets of generational poverty, middle class, and wealth
• New case studies, exhaustive references, and an evolving understanding of poverty's intersections with race, health, immigration, and more.

Eye-opening

This book was quite eye-opening for me. I appreciated the biological and psychological perspective that she gave. I could see how exposure can dictate poverty by looking at military children and civilian children. If you remove the military benefits, the base pay at certain ranks would be below the poverty level, however the access to care, educational resources, professional activities and equitable housing , military children in the lower pay grades function as middle class.

Review A Framework for Understanding Poverty

I Love the whole book. I will listen to it again. I recommend the book for all who particularly are serving their community. I gave it the high rating because it uses the holelistic approach. Let get all the community agencies involved in solving problems, including the residents.

A book people for more well-to-do backgrounds should read

An excellent book for judges , attorneys, police, doctors, therapists, and social workers

A great book to understand the inner workings of one zone upbringing if they grew up in poverty as well

Thought provoking

Made you consider your own life experience, however it seemed to take away agency from the poor and brought up the wage gap myth.

Very insightful!

This book gave me lots of insights into the way we do things within different economic groups.

Perspective Shift

As a Special Education Teacher, and church and community leader, I truly have been given a resource tool to help me understand the dynamics and complexities associated, not only with generational and situational poverty, but with how emotional poverty or limited emotional resources affect children, parents, marriages, individuals, teachers, and all humanity -- in some kind or type of poverty framework. This book is added to my resource library as a "go to" for a better mental, emotional, and behavioral understanding of children and adults (including my own self-care), who function in some framework of poverty. How I can implement new strategies and approaches, to serve others more effectively is my goal. AWESOME book🥰

Understanding Poverty

This was a very informative book. One of the examples that really stuck with me is when people at the school chipped in to purchase a refrigerator for a family. The family goes on vacation. they got the money by selling the refrigerator.
I wanted to read this book because my Son does stuff like that. He got behind on his rent and asked me for money because he had to buy new rims for his car. A stylish car with new rims trumped paying the rent.
