Education policies have too often ignored how conditions outside of
school can alter life chances for young people, especially students
of color, before they even reach the classroom. More recently,
COVID-19 has made it impossible to overlook the needs of the whole
child, both inside and outside of school. The authors assert that
responding to a number of factors like air quality, housing, public
health, community safety, segregation, and neighborhood conditions
are essential to improving academic outcomes and student health.
Our Children Can't Wait urges readers to reconsider what education
policy is, what it could be, who it is for, and who should be
directly shaping it at all levels of government. Experts present a
new equity roadmap by bridging scholarship, ideas, and original
thinking on education policy as a vehicle for setting a redemptive
path forward for reckoning with race in America.Book Features:
Presents a new, evidence-based blueprint for addressing persistent
gaps in education opportunity through a number of interrelated
social policies. Includes contributing authors from 17
organizations and universities, representing a powerful national
network of scholars. Goes beyond diagnosing or identifying
challenges to present solutions in the form of tools and promising
models. Offers strategies for preventing more students from
experiencing homelessness or entering the criminal justice system
through strategic investments. Addresses timely issues that are in
the hearts and minds of many key stakeholders in no small part due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
