ABSTRACT

Chapter 7, “A New Vision for the Education of School-Age Mothers,” offers pedagogical implications for this project concerning curriculum, literacy, and learning for school-age mothers. This chapter responds to the following questions: What does this book mean for teachers, future teachers, and teacher educators? How can these findings advocate for alternative conceptions of schooling students who are deemed to be ‘at-risk’ of school failure? Chapter 7 offers implications for teachers and teacher educators on what the study of schooling for school-age mothers reveals about teaching this population of students.
