Class is in session: A discussion guide to help families navigate schools

This guide is designed to help adoptive, foster, and kinship support group leaders facilitate a discussion on navigating school systems and advocating for children and youth in a school setting.

Even if you do not plan to lead a meeting on this topic, school issues are fairly universal. The suggestions here can help you respond any time educational challenges come up.

You’ll be able to:

  • Learn about local support resources
  • Have discussion themes handy 
  • Access a list of solutions to offer parents when they’re in a pickle
