Webinar: Targeted Education Case Management for Students in Foster Care: Models and Impact (July 12, 2023). This webinar highlighted two exemplary practice models that provide targeted education case management for students in foster care. Treehouse provides academic and other essential support for more than 6,000 youth in foster care across Washington State each year. The National Center for Youth Law's Compassionate Education System initiatives work in partnership with a deeply invested team of state and local partners, students, and parents to create a future in which the vast majority of system-involved youth graduate high school with the widest array of possibilities for their future. Both organizations provided an overview of their programs, examples of impact, and strategies to better support the educational needs of students in foster care.
