This report reviews the research literature since 2000 to understand the elements of high-quality programs and learning experiences that have been associated with positive outcomes ranging from principals’ sense of preparedness, efficacy, and reported practices to staff perceptions of school climate and retention to student achievement. It also examines the extent to which principals have opportunities to participate in learning experiences with those elements and the policies that drive both the development of high-quality programs and access to them.

This study examines how five school districts work to serve students experiencing homelessness. We draw on interview data with homeless program staff, including coordinators, liaisons, and social workers, and budget data to describe how the districts identify and address the needs of students experiencing homelessness, how districts fund and staff their programs, and the challenges that districts confront in meeting the needs of students experiencing homelessness.
