Students come to us in a wide variety of situations—many of which are out of their immediate control. They also come to us with often overlooked assets that we should leverage in the process of helping them grow. To provide the necessary support that students need to be successful, school systems need to work together and with families. This often starts with meeting basic needs, like reliable food and shelter, and grows from there toward supporting academic, personal, and career success. In this episode, we gain insights from our guest, Michele Starkey, the Title I McKinney-Vento Liaison in her district. Michele provides us with insights about programs and supports that are available for students and families. This awareness is often the first step in helping students and families in need.
