DESCRIPTION:
When viewed through an economic lens, poverty can be defined as an absence of resources. Now, 18 years and 1.5 million copies later, Framework: A Cognitive Approach has been revised, updated and expanded. This audiobook is read by the author, Ruby K. 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. Payne, Ph.D.. 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
