This 43 page report, prepared by the California Education Collaborative for Children in Foster Care, provides a summary of research, as well as recommendations for three areas important to improving educational outcomes for foster children and youth: school readiness, school success and data sharing. The report includes compelling statistics on the impact that being in foster care and a history of trauma have on children’s educational success.
