DESCRIPTION:
When viewed through an economic lens, poverty can be defined as an absence of resources. Payne, Ph.D.. This audiobook is read by the author, Ruby K. Since 1995, Framework's basic premise is that the middle-class understandings of those who work with children and adults in poverty are often ill-suited for connecting with and helping people build up resources and rise out of poverty. The 5th edition features an enhanced chapter on instruction and achievement; greater emphasis on the thinking, community, and learning patterns involved in breaking out of poverty; plentiful citations, new case studies, and data: more details findings about interventions, resources, and causes of poverty, and a review of the outlook for people in poverty and those who work with them. Now, 18 years and 1.5 million copies later, Framework: A Cognitive Approach has been revised, updated and expanded
Worth a read for anyone working with people in poverty! Every book on this topic will face criticism because not everyone in poverty fits into the same mold. I understand that. However, this book is still a great book to read for anyone who works with people in poverty. I teach in an urban school district with very high poverty levels.. Pay It Forward said Relevant and constructive. Excellent eye-opening book with updated statistics. Valuable for educators and those who work with families in any supportive way. This book has become a relevant lens through which I view my surroundings and offers me a greater sensitivity to the circumstances of others. Highly r. Benja Ringler said And excellent (and quick. And excellent (and quick!) read for educators working in the Public School system. Interesting insight into the poverty viewpoint. I highly recommend!
