The McKinney-Vento Act in Our Schools Video Series
Patricia Julianelle, NAEHCY's Director of State Projects and Legal Affairs, created a series of videos to be used in brief McKinney-Vento trainings with school staff and community members. Ten short videos feature interviews with educators, each one designed for a specific audience, including registrars, principals, counselors, federal program administrators, superintendents, and community groups. A preview of three of the videos is available at http://vimeo.com/user7111515. To order a DVD containing all ten videos ($15.00 plus shipping/handling), contact Patricia Julianelle atpjulianelle@naehcy.org.
Real Students, Real Schools Video Series
NAEHCY's Real Students, Real Schools videos feature McKinney-Vento homeless liaisons and students experiencing homelessness interviewing each other about their experiences. Two videos showcase high school students from around the country talking about losing their homes, how homelessness affected their education, and how their schools help them stay safe, stable, and successful.  The youth also share their advice and encouragement for other young people without stable housing. These two videos are also available in English and Spanish. In a third video, McKinney-Vento homeless liaisons from around the country answer questions from students about their work, challenges, and successes.
NAEHCY wishes to thank Virgin Unite for their generous financial support that enabled the production of these videos.
