Advocating for Educational Services

Description

Every child or young adult in the care and custody of the Department has a right to regular and special education services to promote academic achievement. Advocating for Educational Services will equip you with information needed to advocate for the educational rights of children in care.

You will learn how to promote the educational achievement of children and young adults through participation on teams that perform academic assessment, planning and goal setting. Strategies for working collaboratively with caregivers, school districts, and educational surrogates will be given.
