Improving Collaboration Through Policy: Education for Students in Foster Care
Join us as we delve into the complexities of serving students in foster care. We will combine learning, collaborative discussion, and active participation through an engaging exercise. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of federal education requirements and participate in a mock Best Interest Determination meeting. This exercise will challenge your decision-making skills as you grapple with real-world scenarios, applying the acquired knowledge to prioritize the best interests, educational stability, and overall well-being of the mock foster care case. We will shine a spotlight on the remarkable collaborative efforts taking place in Washington state, where schools, child welfare agencies and community-based organizations are coming together to align policies, improve practices and provide support for these students. Participants will gain practical strategies to implement collaborative practices in their educational community.
