Foster Children & EducationHow you can create a positive educational experience for foster childrenMeet the challengesIts hard to overestimate the importance of education in the life of a foster child. The school experience can greatly affect the quality of a childs day-to-day life and the quality of her future when she leaves care. While in care, foster children need school as a point of stability in lives that can be battered by change. As adults, with less of a safety net than children from intact families, they need a strong educational foundation in order to support themselves. But when it comes to succeeding in school, foster children face unique challenges and obstacles beyond those faced by even their most economically disadvantaged non-foster peers. And busy child welfare professionals, foster parents, and birth parents may be distracted or overwhelmed, leaving no adult paying attention to a foster childs educational needs. Increasingly, researchers have documented these issues, and child welfare professionals have become aware of the need to pay closer attention to the education of children in the child welfare system. But the challenges can seem insurmountable (不可逾越的), requiring solutions so difficult and expensive that nothing can be done. Between 1999 and 2002, the Vera Institute of Justice and the New York City Administration for Childrens Services ran a pilot project, in partnership with the New York City Board of Education, to tackle those challenges. The project, Safe and Smart, provides lessons about the special issues foster children face in trying to get an education and suggests which responses designed to improve their outcomes can work and which might not. We are not suggesting replicating Safe and Smart but rather learning from its experience. Our key finding is that simple and inexpensive supports and tools can go a long way towards helping adults improve the school experience for youth in foster care.Recognizing the Challenge: How Are Foster Children Doing in School?Foster children lag behind their non-foster peers in school. Research over the past three decades has shown that, compared to the general school population, the half million foster children in the United States: have poorer attendance rates, are less likely to perform at grade level, are more likely to have behavior and discipline problems, are more likely to be assigned to special education classes, and are less likely to attend college.A 2001 study in the American School Board Journal found that foster children often repeat a grade and are twice as likely as the rest of the school population to drop out before graduation. And among all students who drop out of school, fewer foster children eventually earn their GED than non-foster dro
