Description
To tap into the full potential of adopted and fostered children of color, educators must not only confront their racial biases, they must become adoption-literate and trauma-informed. Academic ability and learning differences are often misinterpreted by both parents and educators. This conversation will include the voices of the foremost experts on the experience of being adopted: adoptees of color, ages 10 to 17, speaking about their experiences to give us a deeper understanding of how schools work and how schools understand/misunderstand our children. A specific focus will be on how schools can best serve all children and particularly adopted children of color.
Target audience: Teachers, school administrators, parents
