Hidden in Plain Sight: Research on the Education of Students Experiencing Homelessness, Foster Care, and/or Incarceration
More than 1.6 million students in the U.S. navigate K-12 education while experiencing homelessness, foster care and/or incarceration. What does research tell us about their education experiences and outcomes?
Join Grantmakers for Thriving Youth and the Youth Transition Funders Group to explore findings from a newly released research scan commissioned by The Annie E. Casey Foundation. The scan analyzed 200+ publications and 27 clearinghouses, revealing gaps in the evidence base and blind spots in how we study and understand these students’ educational experiences. Join the study’s authors to discuss the findings and next steps, including the vital role of research partnerships and critical investment opportunities for philanthropy.
Speakers:
- Ilene Berman, Evidence-Based Practice Group Director, The Annie E. Casey Foundation
- Maddy Day, Founder, Maddy Day, LLC, and Associates
- Stephanie Malia Krauss Founder and Principal, First Quarter Strategies & Staff Consultant, YTFG
