Spotlight Webcast: Education and Poverty

What can teachers, school administrators, policy makers and community members do to improve schools for children who live in poverty? In this Spotlight webcast, two of the nation's foremost education leaders, Dr. Eric Cooper, founder and president of the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education, and Dr. Dan Domenech, executive director of the American Association of School Administrators, examine the impact of poverty on education and what superintendents and other community leaders can do. Spotlight moderator Mary Jo Gilmore leads the discussion that covers federal funding for schools, community responsibilities to children living in poverty and advocacy roles superintendents can play on behalf of students in poverty.
