Reaching out To Foster Children.
Joiner, Lottie L.
American School Board Journal, v188 n5 p30-34 May 2001
A transient lifestyle, combined with emotional and behavior problems, often precipitates foster children's poor academic performance. Cooperation with child welfare workers is essential, as shown by the success rate of California's Foster Youth Services, Seattle's private social-service agency Treehouse, and New York City's Safe and Smart program.
