A Framework for Understanding Poverty: A Cognitive Approach, Seventh Edition – Book

Description

Much has happened since A Framework for Understanding Poverty, the original “red book,” was published in 1995. Scholars and practitioners alike have built on the ideas that were in that first edition, and the work has expanded beyond K–12 schools to communities, businesses, higher education institutions, foundations, churches, healthcare providers, and more.

Now, the ideas in the seventh edition of Framework are more urgent than ever. Childhood poverty, which all too often becomes lifetime poverty, is increasing. But the data shows that poverty is often a cause-and-effect problem—addressing poverty at its root has the power to transform lives.
