Bandwidth Recovery For Schools - 9781642670776

The premise of this book is that the cognitive resources for learning of over half our young people have been diminished by the negative effects of economic and food insecurity, or by hostility against nonmajority groups based on race, ethnicity sexual orientation, or other aspects of difference, learning them with reduced brain capacity for learning and developing. This book recognizes that these students are no different than their more privileged middle-class peers in terms of cognitive capacity and provides a diagnosis of bandwidth stealers that may derive from underresourced homes, school policies, or tacit value systems that can undermine students' confidence or students' unfilled needs for a caring structure. It offers a set of strategies and interventions to rebuilt the available cognitive resources necessary for making good decisions, developing healthy relationships, succeeding in school, and reaching students' full potential. Cia Verschelden offers a wealth of evidence-based strategies, as well as a rich selection of Ideas in Practice contributed by experienced teachers. Book jacket.
