A Framework for Understanding Poverty; A Cognitive Approach (Out of Print)

Product Description 2014 Revere Awards - Golden Lamp Winner When viewed through an economic lens, poverty can be defined as an absence of resources. 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. Now, 18 years and 1.5 million copies later, Framework: A Cognitive Approach has been revised, updated and expanded. 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. Review Framework is our staff's most powerful resource for working with students and families to provide necessary tools and skill sets to break the crushing cycle of poverty. --Dr. Bonny Cain, Superintendent, Waco Independent School District, Texas

The beauty and power of Framework are its scope and breadth. What began as a guide for educators to better understand their students is now a multifaceted, multidisciplinary set of tools and resources that are applicable across society. The book expands the integration of relationships across all boundaries. --Gayle C. Manchin, Past President, National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE)

The concepts from Framework were taught by Bethanie Tucker to many of our faculty and administrators last spring. Those concepts, combined with increased student services advisors and program directors, community outreach, faculty involvement and a lot of hard work, resulted in our annual attrition rate going from 6% to 4.3% last year. After all, it does take a village. --Ada Gerard, Campus President,Heald College, Rancho Cordova, CA (May, 2009)
