School functions for children as a key place for not only education but also accessing supportive resources and relationships. It’s vital that you have all the information you need to best support their educational success.
Join us for a convenient weekend training this Saturday, Feb. 5, from 9:30 a.m.-12 p.m. on “Supporting the Educational Success of Youth Experiencing Foster Care.”
This course is led by Treehouse Education Advocates, who work with schools, caregivers, social workers and youth in foster care statewide to resolve difficult issues and remove barriers to school success.
In this training, you will learn how to access education-related support services, including special education services, and how to advocate for youth who may experience discipline or behavioral issues at school.
Treehouse facilitators will also discuss the importance of stabilizing school placements and the educational rights of students experiencing foster care.
Finally, you will have the opportunity to learn about the basics of establishing and maintaining positive school relationships in order to create educational success for the children in your care.
