Helping Students Reclaim Cognitive Resources Lost to Poverty, Racism, and Social Marginalization

Beschreibung

Argues that the cognitive resources for learning of over half our young people have been diminished by the negative effects of economic insecurity, and discrimination against non-majority groups. Recognising that these students are no different than their peers in terms of cognitive capacity, this book offers strategies and interventions to rebuild the available cognitive resources.
