Following institutional review board (IRB) approval, the authors conducted one focus group each at two emergency family shelters in a high-density suburb in the southern United States with a total of eight adolescents (ages 13–17; 100% African American; 3 males). The study followed the tenets of interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) in question design, data collection, and analysis. Four themes emerged from the data: (1) you are what you eat (2) healthy food is not always an option (3) physical activity makes you healthy, but it’s hard in a shelter and (4) nature is an abstract ideal. The adolescents expressed a desire to lead healthy lives but were stymied by the built environment; they described nature in idyllic terms but rarely reported engaging in outdoor leisure activities. Findings offer preliminary evidence supporting the need to provide adolescents in family shelters with enhanced access to outdoor physical activity opportunities and fresh foods. Results also highlight the importance of future research into how the built environment contributes to physical and mental health disparities among adolescents in high poverty situations such as homelessness.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1633074","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48617370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing a nationally representative sample followed from adolescence through early adulthood (Add Health; N = 18,230), we tested a conceptual model hypothesizing that neighborhood and school resources, social norms, and stress would serve as mediating processes linking family socioeconomic resources with young adult education, employment, and earnings. Multilevel structural equation models suggest that family socioeconomic resources promote young adult educational and employment success in large part through adolescents’ access to socioeconomically advantaged classmates and school social norms supportive of educational success. Neighborhood socioeconomic resources were a less consistent mediator between family resources and early adult socioeconomic success, whereas neighborhood norms and school and neighborhood stress did not serve as significant mediating processes. Results highlight the role of school (and to a lesser extent, neighborhood) contexts in the intergenerational transmission of inequality.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1616165","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44102454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are there any school policymakers and urban planners working together for the common good elsewhere besides the book’s stated examples? Are there specific metro areas already benefitting from regional reform? Additionally, there is evidence that in some demographically shifting metro areas, while neighborhoods are becoming more integrated by race/ethnicity and socio-economic status, the schools are not. The authors could have specified what types of metro areas would benefit the most from these kinds of regional reforms (e.g., gentrifying New York City), and in what types of areas these strategies might be totally off base because of stable demographics and shrinking populations (e.g., Cleveland). Overall, Holme and Finnigan’s timely and important book presents a clearly argued and concise account of the problem of educational inequality in many parts of the United States. The authors expertly use their rich data set to build their argument that the only way to tackle inequality is by connecting urban education reform to regional policy and planning reform. Educators and policy reformers alike will benefit from the vivid case study narratives, theoretical and policy frameworks, and clear-cut strategies for educational equity highlighted in Striving in Common. Ultimately, the authors’ main goal is to put forth a policy framework of regional equity that will help bridge the gap between education policy and urban policy and planning — all for the common good.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1566696","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43482397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite comprising almost three-quarters of the homeless youth population in the United States, youth of color, along with their unique needs, experiences, and wellbeing, have seldom been the subject of sustained and critical empirical inquiry. For example, in the context of education, the ways in which grade point averages, frequency of school change, and graduation rates may differ between homeless youth in general and homeless youth of color remain unknown. Even if we were to take the liberty of extending the existing comparative research regarding general student performance, the best we can surmise is that homeless youth of color fare worse according to all of these traditional success standards, but we haven’t the faintest idea how much worse or why. When it comes to vital questions about the wellbeing of some of the most vulnerable children in America, we are, at worst, asleep at the wheel and, at best, stumbling in the dark. On its surface, the “racial knowledge gap” appears to be a yawning expanse of missing information enveloped by a hazy mist of imprecise data interpretation, the meaning and significance of which I expound upon in this brief.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1591041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45904639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of high-quality data collection processes—including Housing Management Information Systems (HMIS), community point-in-time counts, and school district data and evaluation infrastructure—has given nonprofit and social sector leaders unprecedented access to client-level data. However, it remains a challenge for nonprofits and community-based organizations to engage in work with families experiencing homelessness and demonstrate meaningful impact across a variety of outcomes. In this policy brief, the authors discuss (1) challenges facing the field of child and family homelessness with respect to data use, (2) recent advancements in the use of data, and (3) strategies to create an organizational culture of data that makes use of recent advancements in data use and addresses current challenges facing the field.

Family engagement is a central force in the education of young children, yet research suggests that parents and teachers often do not collaborate, and this can have an adverse impact on young children’s learning outcomes. This brief explores a new observation approach, referred to as Journey of Discoveries, to examine its influence on family engagement and its potential use as a collaborative tool for educators and parents to gauge children’s learning and development. Journey of Discoveries was tested with volunteer families and teachers in three select Early Head Start programs in California in 2014–2015. Responses from participants illustrated seven themes or potential pathways emerging from the approach that support family engagement, including: (a) teachers’ and parents’ celebration of children’s learning, (b) emotional responses to children’s learning, (c) importance of sharing learning as stories, (d) process of reflection, (e) holistic viewing of children’s learning, (f) the honoring of diverse voices, and (g) parents’ roles as leaders. The practical and policy implications of the Journey of Discoveries approach are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":35244,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Children and Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10796126.2019.1566695","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43825309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
