Homeless and Foster Youth Symposium - Piecing It Together: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access are the Key 10/28/2021 8:00 am - 3:30 pm
LACOE’s Homeless Education and Foster Youth Services Program/s will be virtually hosting their fourth annual Homeless and Foster Symposium on Thursday, October 28,2021. This all-day interactive workshop will cover the essentials in order to assist homeless and foster youth liaisons working in districts and charter schools throughout the county, while also serving as a learning platform for any agencies or service providers that support students experiencing homelessness or students in foster care. All presenters are being asked to ensure that their presentations include information around the lens of inclusion, equity, access, and diversity along with reviews of laws, policies and promising practices. Participants will be able to immediately apply the information as they work through real case scenarios. School and district level staff who would benefit most from this workshop are homeless and foster youth liaisons, front office personnel, principals, assistant principals, deans, counselors, and new site and district administrators. Other staff that would benefit from this training would include Social Workers, Counselors, DCFS Staff, Probation, Advocates, and CASA’s.
Topics will include:
Homeless and foster youth liaison basics including identification, educational responsibilities, school placement, attendance, transportation, student records, equal access, and much more
Federal and state laws, legislative changes, the impact on service, and promising practices
Transportation
Data and documentation
LCAP alignment
