Personal Research Journey - Childhood Poverty


I have chosen childhood poverty as the topic for my simulation. I chose the topic because I am interested  in learning how poverty affects learning outcomes during the early years and how the global economic crisis is effecting children.  As a foster parent, I have seen the effects poverty has on children, the long-term effects can continue into adulthood.  I would welcome any feedback, advice or insight:)

The research chart familiarized me with information that will continue to assist me with my simulation paper.

  1. I think you have chosen an important topic for our profession. I would suggest looking at research that has looked at Head Start and what they have accomplished in terms of helping children who live in poverty have an opportunity to attend a quality preschool setting.

  2. I agree with you post! It amazes me how some people really do not understand how poverty affects children even in school but with further research we all will gain a better understanding.
