Foster youth have attended schools for decades, but with the development of the local control funding formula (LCFF) and Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP), they are now a group of students receiving the publicity and acknowledgment needed to improve their academic and social success. This study brings to light the importance of awareness on multiple levels to support foster students in developing their social-emotional intelligence as well as their ability to form relationships. School administrators should be aware of the five themes revealed in this study: (1) LCFF, (2) awareness, (3) social-emotional intelligence, (4) teacher-foster student relationships, and (5) attachments. The ability to know who foster students are, to be aware of struggles they encounter, to be knowledgeable about the foster system, and to be aware of how a teacher can support a student is necessary in developing the teacher-student relationships that ultimately can empower a student in foster care to believe in himself or herself.
