Powers-Costello, Elizabeth; Swick, Kevin J.
Early Childhood Education Journal, v36 n3 p241-245 Dec 2008
The perceptions teachers have of homeless children and their families are a significant influence on children and parents.

Effective strategies for helping teachers strengthen their perspectives of homeless children and families are presented and discussed.
