Summary:

It is increasingly challenging for educators to teach without a deeper understanding of their students' life experiences. This is particularly the case in marginalized groups of young people who are subject to loss, grief, trauma, and shame. Through a snapshot of the diverse student population, this book explores the impact of these experiences on a student's learning and success. Topics covered include poverty, obesity, incarceration, immigration, death, sexual exploitation, LGBT issues, the expressive arts, media, resilience, military students, and community outreach. The authors share the children's perspective, and through case studies they offer solutions and viable objectives. Book jacket.
