    Abstract
    This qualitative research examined what adults who experienced homelessness as children believe teachers can do to ensure their homeless students achieve academic success. Objectives of the study was to interview participants who experienced homelessness as children, report on recent research regarding academics and homeless children, and suggest ideas to assist students in achieving academic success. Interviews were conducted with three adult participants who experienced homelessness as children. Results of the interviews were interpreted through thematic analysis to isolate identifying themes. Five themes were identified within the participants’ interviews: Lack of Compassion/Need for Compassion, Lack of Friends, A Lot of Change in Living Situations/Schools, Effects on Student’s Academics, and Need for Intervention. The participants’ interviews revealed the following findings to what they believe teachers can do to ensure students’ academic success: be more involved in student’s home life, get to know your students, do not stereotype, have compassion for your students, provide students with reading material, provide family literacy activities, understand they have a lot of adult worries, and allow more flexibility with schoolwork. Participants were in agreement there needs to be intervention for these students to succeed, and that with intervention homeless students can achieve success.

      The effects of homelessness or high-mobility on a students' academics.

      Tye, April L. (2014)
      This investigation examines the effects that high-mobility and homelessness have on the young homeless community. The research identified a workable definition of homelessness. Many different aspects can be included in the word homeless. This research looks into the academics portion of the children's lives from reading to math, and it looks out beyond academics at things such as school attendance and people involved in the child’s life. This research looks at some of the social impact that homelessness and high-mobility have on a student, along with the emotional impact it has on the children suffering from it. Using the case study method, the researcher examined academic records of one homeless/highly mobile student. In studying the records, the researcher compared academic grades during the year or quarters when the student was identified as homeless with academic grades during the years they were housed. The researcher also looked at grade fluctuation directly after a move of a school and compared grading quarters during which the child was in one home with subsequent quarters during which they may have moved homes or school districts.

      Creating community, home, and resources with music therapy: a program proposal for Family of Woodstock

      Pomerselig, Noah (2021-05)
      The following is a proposal for the implementation of a music therapy program for adolescents experiencing homelessness within Family of Woodstock’s continuum of care. This proposal outlines the rationale and theoretical justification of this program as well as outlining the content and structure of the proposed music therapy services. This proposal includes descriptions of music therapy in general and how it has been implemented with this population in other programs. This program is designed to be implemented by one full-time music therapist and integrates with the existing services provided by the organization. The integration of a music therapy program is congruent with Family of Woodstock’s mission statement and organization goals.
