The document warns that the following presentation contains sexually graphic material not intended for children. It goes on to say that it feels obligated to fully inform the public about what is being taught to children as young as kindergarten in public schools in California due to a state legislative mandate. This mandate was extended in 2018 to apply to all charter schools in the state.

The flaws in foster care 2
The document discusses several flaws in the U.S. foster care system. It notes that while foster care was originally intended to care for children in need, potential issues were anticipated but seen as necessary risks. Currently, about 75% of children in foster care have been sexually abused. Some ways to address flaws include more effective screening of social workers and foster families, holding negligent parents accountable, and implementing regular training for social workers based on recurring issues. The document also provides statistics on the large number of children currently in foster care and challenges with placing siblings together.
Letter of Appeal
Samantha Brown writes a letter to Senator Tom Harkin proposing improvements to sexuality education policy. She notes that the U.S. has high rates of teen pregnancy and STIs despite abstinence-only education programs. Brown argues abstinence-only education is ineffective and encloses research showing comprehensive education may be more effective. She asks the committee to consider a policy that incentivizes states to require sexuality education validated by research to be taught in schools.
IS YOUR CHILD OVERWEIGHT?
This document discusses whether parents can accurately determine if their child is overweight. It summarizes two studies that found around 95% of parents with overweight children perceived them to be a normal weight. The studies suggest parents may be using peers rather than clinical growth charts as a standard. The document notes obesity rates in children have increased over time. It quotes an expert saying parents may not understand what obesity means for young children or think their child will "grow out of it". The document concludes that providing parents with growth chart information and BMI calculators could help identify overweight children earlier and encourage parents to take action.
Pregnant Teens
This document discusses teen pregnancy rates in the United States. It notes that in 2011, Hispanic adolescent females ages 15-19 had the highest birth rate. Teen childbearing costs U.S. taxpayers billions annually. Teen pregnancy is associated with lower educational attainment, employment prospects, and higher rates of poverty and reliance on public assistance. The teen pregnancy rate in the U.S. remains the highest in the developed world. The document examines contributing individual, social, and family factors as well as prevention and intervention strategies.
Unequal from the start
The document outlines several factors that can contribute to health inequalities: maternal factors like substance abuse and mental health issues; environmental factors such as poor housing and lack of transportation; and social factors like poverty, domestic violence, and lack of support systems. It also discusses health-related factors influencing inequality, such as low birthweight and developmental delays. Finally, it proposes several changes that could help address these issues, including increasing access to healthcare services, social support programs, education resources, and employment opportunities.
UROP Poster Andrea Evelyn
This document contains information about state laws and policies regarding undocumented students and higher education institutions. It includes the following key points:
- Institutions in states without clear state laws have more legal ambiguity and flexibility in how they interpret and apply the law regarding undocumented students.
- The number of public, private, and for-profit higher education institutions that explicitly allow or deny admission to undocumented students varies depending on the state policy.
- Religious affiliated institutions also have varying policies depending on the state law regarding in-state tuition for undocumented students.
Group 4 Powerpoint (with narration)
The document discusses teen pregnancy and sexual education statistics in the United States. It notes that over 305,000 females aged 15-19 experienced teen pregnancy in 2012. While many teens are aware of sexually transmitted diseases, many have not received formal instruction on contraception or abstinence. The document advocates for comprehensive sexual education at young ages to help teens make more informed decisions and reduce rates of unintended pregnancy.

Educating to stop child sex abuse
The document discusses educating to reduce child sexual abuse. It defines child sexual abuse and provides statistics on its prevalence. It discusses "Erin's Law," which requires child sexual abuse education in schools. It also discusses efforts taken in Vermont and Columbia County, Oregon to implement abuse prevention education and curriculum. The document argues that decreasing child sexual abuse rates may be possible by expanding education efforts targeting individuals, families, and communities, as was done successfully in Vermont.
Sex education in schools
This document discusses arguments for and against sex education in schools. It notes that some argue sex education should be taught by parents within their own context, while others counter that sex education should be a high priority in schools given the US's high rates of teen pregnancy and STDs. The document also provides background on the history of sex education in schools and debates around what type of information should be taught and who should teach it. It concludes by agreeing that sex education is important in schools today given that parents may not have time or feel comfortable discussing it themselves.
(1) The Importance of Family Support Services From A Lived Experience
The document discusses the importance of family support services from the perspective of lived experience. It describes how the Tamarack Institute utilizes "context experts" with lived experience of social issues in their community engagement work. It then shares the author's own lived experience of growing up in a young family and benefiting from brief family counseling, supportive jobs and schooling, which helped her thrive despite challenges. The author advocates for preserving and strengthening family support services, prevention programs, and behavioral healthcare for children.
Presentation
This document summarizes research on the impact of early motherhood on educational attainment. It finds that teenage mothers typically complete 1-3 fewer years of education than their peers who did not have early children. Sociological theories of critical theory are applied. Programs that provide support for teenage mothers, such as second chance homes, show promise in helping teenage mothers achieve higher educational outcomes. The document advocates for policy changes and programs to support educational attainment among teenage mothers.

02 April 2020Is Income Inequality To Blame For Poor Student Test Scores?
Studies ranging from psychology to economics all indicate that early childhood education and development are vital to the success of a child in all aspects of life, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Despite the reality that children from disadvantaged households often face more challenges and have lower test scores, publicly funded programs can have a significant and measured effect on success. Lawmakers have the responsibility to shape fiscal policy in order to bridge the gaps that face our nation's “persistently disadvantaged.” Although I agree that eligibility to qualify for free or reduced school meals is a poor measure of a student's actual needs as Susan Dynarski points out, it is important to extend these ideas to include access to quality early childhood education programs.
“A closer look reveals that the standard measure of economic disadvantage whether a child is eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch in school masks the magnitude of the learning gap between the richest and poorest children.” (Greene, Kindle Locations 11218-11220). This gap is an important aspect of the disparity in which money is distributed to schools as it can be misconstrued to divide the money based on numbers instead of actual need. The disadvantaged children are those who are in the most need for assistance both monetarily and educationally and these funds should be focused on their needs specifically instead of a school as a whole generically, though there is likely no easy way to focus this money in a specific manner. One possible way to address this need is to provide assistance and education to all children across the nation from birth regardless of financial need. Studies for years have shown that children who attend preschool are more likely to be successful throughout elementary and high school, and early childhood brain development increases intelligence levels (Untangling the Evidence). By providing this type of education and development across the board we could raise the test score of children across the nation. This would prove to be an expensive and extremely difficult task to implement universally however, we do currently have a federal program in place currently aimed at providing these types of educational programs to low income families, Head Start.
The Head Start Program is administered under the Department of Health and Human Services and provides services to pregnant women and children from birth to age five. The Head Start Program is designed to teach early learning, health education, and family well-being with the intention of promoting school readiness to these children. In fiscal year 2018, the Federal Government spent $9.47 billion dollars on this program which helped 1,050,000 children and pregnant women in 2017 and 2018 (Head Start Programs). This program is delivered nationwide ...

While 47% of high school students in Wyoming report having sex, sex education standards vary widely between school districts in Sheridan County. Some districts focus only on abstinence, while others discuss contraception but do not go into depth on LGBT topics due to perceived community resistance. The Wyoming Department of Education provides guidelines but allows flexibility for districts to design their own curricula.

Here are some key departments to recruit support from to build a multi-disciplinary team:
Foster Youth
This document discusses foster youth and the challenges they face. It notes that there are nearly half a million foster youth in the US, many of whom do not graduate high school or college. Foster youth have high school graduation rates around 46% and college graduation rates around 2%. The researcher examined past literature on foster youth's educational outcomes through a review of qualitative and quantitative studies. The review sought to understand factors contributing to academic success or challenges for foster youth. It aimed to explore the role of the foster care system and how youth overcame obstacles to achieve academic success.
Grandparents Rights Group
The document discusses issues related to grandparents raising grandchildren in Utah. It provides national statistics showing that millions of children live with grandparents as caregivers. In Utah, the most common reason for this is parental methamphetamine abuse. The document outlines various legal issues around custody, visitation, medical consent and school enrollment. It also describes the different kinship care options in Utah and eligibility requirements for associated public benefits and services. Resources for grandparents raising grandchildren are provided.
Children & Lunch-Shaming in America
Thrilled to announce I've been awarded Fist Place in Roger William University's 2017 Advanced Writing Contest for my policy report “Children & Lunch-Shaming: America’s Neglected Stain."
Lunch-Shaming in America is not often talked about or understood, but has become an increasing problem for the esteem and development of America's children. Children are being wrongfully stigmatized for their family's finances by being denied the same lunch as their peers, receiving a stamp saying "Need Lunch Money", or being forced to perform chores for their lunch.
School lunch companies and school administrations should not be able to stigmatize 2nd, 3rd, 4th graders for something their parents need to deal with.
If any of this makes you sad/angry/annoyed, please feel free to read my report, Children & Lunch Shaming: America's Neglected Stain, and let me know your thoughts!
Unplanned Pregnancy and Adoption
In recent research, our team found that 51% of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned. Every woman has a different situation, and everyone’s reasons for considering adoption are her own. The most important thing for you to remember, though, is that there are people out there who truly care about your unique situation; there are compassionate individuals who care about you and your life ahead.
Looking Forward As We Examine The Past2009
The document discusses the history and importance of advocacy by the PTA. It outlines many issues the PTA has advocated for over time, from child labor laws to school nutrition programs. The PTA uses resolutions to determine the issues it supports and advocates influencing policy decisions. Advocacy is important to ensure laws and policies benefit children. PTA members are encouraged to get involved in advocacy by contacting legislators, writing letters, and using social media to educate others.
20100811 Murray (Alger) Foster-Care Opportunity Scholarships
This document summarizes research on the educational challenges faced by students in foster care and potential solutions. It finds that foster care students have much poorer educational and life outcomes compared to the general population, including lower academic achievement, higher rates of grade retention, special education placement, dropping out, and less likelihood of attending or graduating from college. Their challenges are exacerbated by the instability of frequently changing schools due to changes in placement. Expanding education options through scholarship programs could help address these challenges by improving school stability, achievement, and life outcomes for foster care students.
Policy Katelyn M (1)
This document discusses sex education policy in the United States. It argues that comprehensive sex education should be required in all schools. Currently, many states only require abstinence-only education or allow parents to opt their children out of sex education courses. However, comprehensive sex education has been shown to reduce teen pregnancy and STD rates. The document proposes expanding sex education requirements to include factual information about contraception, involvement of parents and school nurses, and linking the courses to other classes to provide a well-rounded education on relationships and personal responsibility.
