Reframing Child Poverty | Bob Sanborn | TEDxUNT

In this timely TEDxUNT, Dr. Bob Sanborn of "Children at Risk" discusses what he believes are four key solutions to reframing child poverty issues, including universal parent education (recently mentioned by the UK Prime Minister as a key interest for their population as well). These family policy considerations, based upon a broad body of research, are how the U.S. could move its next generation forward and upward.

Dr. Sanborn is a noted leader, advocate, and activist for education and children and the President and CEO of CHILDREN AT RISK. Dr. Sanborn earned his undergraduate degree at Florida State University and his doctorate at Columbia University in New York City. Before entering the non-profit sector, he had a distinguished career in higher education at institutions such as Rice University and Hampshire College. He has worked and served as a senior leader with many organizations, always bringing with him a focus on innovation, collaborations with like-minded groups, resource developing partnerships, and a belief that all children deserve extraordinary opportunities to succeed.
