A training guide to promote educational achievement in foster care youth| A curriculum

<p> The plight of foster youth having low graduation scores compared to their peers is a prevalent problem depicted in research for years. Statistics show foster youth as being an at risk-group for completing high school education and leading them to a lower quality of life once emancipated from the foster care system. Foster youth face incarceration, unemployment, lower wages, homelessness and substance abuse once adults, and there is a need for the strengthening of educational achievement in this at-risk population. The need for social workers&rsquo; to collaborate with school personnel is a necessary preventative measure to increase the quality of life with foster youth. </p>
