Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success in school is a key protective factor for youth in foster care. Communication and collaboration between schools, child welfare, and other service providers are crucial for promoting school success among foster youth. However, concerns that teachers may view youth in foster care negatively simply because of their foster care status create a barrier to communication and collaboration. Despite these concerns, to date virtually no quantitative research exists documenting the presence of bias toward foster youth in academic settings. This study used an experimental design to test whether informing elementary school teachers of hypothetical students foster care status resulted in biased expectations, attributions, and decision-making. This study also examined the effect of student race on teachers judgments and decisions, as well as the extent to which teacher well-being mitigated or enhanced effects of student foster care status and student race. Teachers (n = 179) reported lower academic expectations for students in foster care compared to their peers and were biased toward attributing foster youths academic and behavior problems to less internal, less controllable causes. Teachers were also more likely to attribute behavior problems to more stable causes and to recommend special education evaluations for students in foster care. Effects of student race were limited to a bias toward attributing academic and behavior problems to less internal causes, attributing academic problems to less controllable, less stable causes, and assignment of less harsh discipline responses for Black students compared to White students. There was some evidence that teacher well-being (most notably teacher sleep problems) moderated effects of student foster care status on teachers judgments and decisions such that poorer teacher well-being was associated with greater bias toward foster youth. Implications for policy and practice to support teachers in their interactions with students who are in foster care are discussed.
Book Synopsis Attributions For Children of Divorce and Foster Youth in an Academic Setting by : Samantha Etzi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to examine the attributions people make for children of divorce and foster youth in an academic setting. There is a large area of study that examines the expectations teachers have of children with a label. Most of the research concerns a psychopathology label; however, there is a gap in the literature in examining biases towards children with the label of divorce or foster care. The current aim is to study if people have these biases when attributing reasons for the childs success or failure in the classroom. The hypothesis is that participants will rate foster youth differently compared to children from intact and divorce homes on both success and failure performance.Each participant was presented with a child of an intact family, a child of a divorce family, and a child of a foster family varying in race and gender. The participants rated attributions for failure or success on a Likert scale. The results were analyzed based on the differences in attributional ratings for success and failure performance. Findings supported the hypothesis in that participants rated failure performance for the foster child higher than the other two labels of divorce and intact, possibly indicating an influence of implicit biases. This suggests that participants were more confident in their attributional ratings for the foster childs failure performance than success performance. The findings of this study should be replicated and applied to a sample using teachers.
Book Synopsis Does the Label "foster Child" Have an Affect on how They are Treated by Their Teachers? by : Corey Marcelle Smith
Download or read book Does the Label "foster Child" Have an Affect on how They are Treated by Their Teachers? written by Corey Marcelle Smith and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If educators, administrators, and the school system continue to not provide the services needed to foster youth and proceed to treat them differently than their classmates, children within the foster care system will continue to struggle with their education, not only academically but also with peer relations. Foster youth are aware of the negative stigma that can accompany the label "foster child" and they may begin to take on the attributes that are expected of them following this label. Foster youth tend to require more services to aid them with their educational goals. Unfortunately, they are sometimes receiving fewer services than their classmates. Teachers and administrators also lack the proper knowledge about how being placed with in the foster care system may have effects on a child, which in turn may cause them to act out at school. If teachers were made aware and worked with the foster youth at their level, there would be more opportunities for foster youth to attain their educational goals. This researcher conducted eight interviews, which were all audio taped. This researcher played each interview back and transcribed all of the interviews. After transcribing, this researcher began the process of coding. After organizing common concepts, this v researcher began to memo and sort key ideas together to develop main ideas based on similar ideas that the participants expressed in each of their own interviews. Participants of this study included eight teachers from the Solano County area with varying levels of experience. Participants taught in classrooms ranging from elementary school to high school. Findings of the study were that educators had an overall negative view of foster youth. This could be due to the fact that educators are unaware of a child's status of being in the foster care system until a behavioral problem has occurred. Thus, foster child and behavior problems become synonymous. Teachers come to expect all foster youth to behave poorly because they are only aware of foster students who cause disruptions.

Book Synopsis The Effect of Foster Care Experience and Characteristics on Academic Achievement by : Alexandra Calix

This book was released on 2009 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effect of foster care experience and characteristics on educational outcomes. The typical strategy in examining the effect foster care has on educational outcomes is to compare the educational achievement of youth with foster care experience to that of their peers or to national norms. This strategy fails to take selection bias into account and thus findings based on this research can be misleading. Many studies also fail to provide information regarding how the experience of foster care may have contributed to low educational achievement. The study presented here used educational and child welfare data to assess the effect foster care has on educational outcomes. Four test-year cohorts of youth in North Carolina who took the Algebra I End of Course test in 1999-2002 were used in this study. The use of this data made it possible to apply propensity score matching techniques to systematically construct comparison groups of youth without foster care experience that account for selection bias. Once differences in achievement between foster care youth and non-foster care youth were examined, characteristics of the foster care experience that may contribute to low educational outcomes were assessed. Findings from this study suggest that youth with foster care experience score lower on the test and are less likely to pass than youth without foster care experience. This study also suggests that characteristics and variations based on the foster care experience such as race, reason for placement, age at entry, length of time in foster care, and number of foster care placement settings, are related to low educational achievement.

Book Synopsis Issues in Educational Placement by : James M. Kauffman
Download or read book Issues in Educational Placement written by James M. Kauffman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Placement of students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment has become a central issue in special education. To date, no comprehensive treatment of placement issues is available, especially for students with emotional and behavioral disorders who present particularly difficult placement problems. This book combines data and discussions intended to further the understanding of how and why decisions are made to place students with emotional or behavioral disorders in particular educational environments. This volume establishes the problem of placement in a contemporary and historical context, reviews the literature on placement of students with emotional or behavioral disorders, and discusses placement options and concerns about multicultural issues, post-secondary education, law and regulation, demands on teachers, and policy choices. Its goals are to: * improve understanding of decision processes leading to placement, * set the stage for improvements in pupils' lives in school and elsewhere, and * stimulate research on the many placement issues that are left unresolved.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Classroom Management by : Carolyn M. Evertson
Download or read book Handbook of Classroom Management written by Carolyn M. Evertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 1357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classroom management is a topic of enduring concern for teachers, administrators, and the public. It consistently ranks as the first or second most serious educational problem in the eyes of the general public, and beginning teachers consistently rank it as their most pressing concern during their early teaching years. Management problems continue to be a major cause of teacher burnout and job dissatisfaction. Strangely, despite this enduring concern on the part of educators and the public, few researchers have chosen to focus on classroom management or to identify themselves with this critical field. The Handbook of Classroom Management has four primary goals: 1) to clarify the term classroom management; 2) to demonstrate to scholars and practitioners that there is a distinct body of knowledge that directly addresses teachers’ managerial tasks; 3) to bring together disparate lines of research and encourage conversations across different areas of inquiry; and 4) to promote a vigorous agenda for future research in this area. To this end, 47 chapters have been organized into 10 sections, each chapter written by a recognized expert in that area. Cutting across the sections and chapters are the following themes: *First, positive teacher-student relationships are seen as the very core of effective classroom management. *Second, classroom management is viewed as a social and moral curriculum. *Third, external reward and punishment strategies are not seen as optimal for promoting academic and social-emotional growth and self-regulated behavior. *Fourth, to create orderly, productive environments teachers must take into account student characteristics such as age, developmental level, race, ethnicity, cultural background, socioeconomic status, and ableness. Like other research handbooks, the Handbook of Classroom Management provides an indispensable reference volume for scholars, teacher educators, in-service practitioners, and the academic libraries serving these audiences. It is also appropriate for graduate courses wholly or partly devoted to the study of classroom management.

Lundy (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the educational trajectory of foster care alumni regarding the social capital held by their foster parents as it relates to college access by employing the framework advanced by Perna and Titus (2005) which was based on Bourdieu and Passeron (1990). This age group was chosen because despite educational reform interventions within k-12, a college readiness gap remains (Choy, 2002). The college journey starts as early as grade school, a time in which remedial limitations may be diagnosed and addressed. Research by Reed (1996) showed that 17% of foster children require remedial instruction at the grade school level but fail to be diagnosed as a result of poor agency coordination. As a society we have, by default, consented to the removal of children from their biological homes. The foster home, therefore, is tasked with providing a nurturing setting that is an improvement from the biological home setting from which the child is removed. The foster parent, then, should engage in behavior change interventions that can be observed in the school setting, take corrective action when poor agency coordination occurs, expedite the individual education plan, encourage the foster child and monetize materials of value for the child for the duration that the child remains in placement. This study addressed a gap in the literature by evaluating intelligence from foster care alumni. Educational advocacy, by the foster parent, on behalf of the foster child is a prerequisite if foster youth are to meet benchmarks that indicate long term survival. Foster youth reported the lack of long-term adult support as a barrier to persistence in education. Employing the conceptual framework of Perna and Titus (2005) this study examined what foster alumni reported regarding the social capital held by their foster caregivers as it related to college access.

Book excerpt: Influenced by news reports of young children brutalized by their parents, most of us see the role of child services as the prevention of severe physical abuse. But as Tina Lee shows in Catching a Case, most child welfare cases revolve around often ill-founded charges of neglect, and the parents swept into the system are generally struggling but loving, fighting to raise their children in the face of crushing poverty, violent crime, poor housing, lack of childcare, and failing schools. Lee explored the child welfare system in New York City, observing family courts, interviewing parents and following them through the system, asking caseworkers for descriptions of their work and their decision-making processes, and discussing cases with attorneys on all sides. What she discovered about the system is troubling. Lee reveals that, in the face of draconian budget cuts and a political climate that blames the poor for their own poverty, child welfare practices have become punitive, focused on removing children from their families and on parental compliance with rules. Rather than provide needed help for families, case workers often hold parents to standards almost impossible for working-class and poor parents to meet. For instance, parents can be accused of neglect for providing inadequate childcare or housing even when they cannot afford anything better. In many cases, child welfare exacerbates family problems and sometimes drives parents further into poverty while the family court system does little to protect their rights. Catching a Case is a much-needed wake-up call to improve the child welfare system, and to offer more comprehensive social services that will allow all children to thrive.
