What Teachers Should Know About Adoption

The QIC-AG has developed this fact sheet about adoption tailored for teachers. This fact sheet is designed to raise awareness about the unique needs of children who have been adopted, and to provide concrete tips on how these professionals can effectively work with these children. It can also be used by adoptive parents as tools for engaging their child’s teachers.

Heather Forbes, LCSW discusses the importance of creating trauma informed schools. She also shares strategies that educators can employ to create a classroom culture that promotes a physically and psychologically safe environment that helps all children achieve academic success.
