My plans are to find strategies to help reduce the number of foster children in head start. Another priority Strategies is the support, development, and nurturing of case workers who serve in the foster care system. I feel that there are so many ways that I could get the social media to play a big part in my Advocacy for foster children. First of all I could start a face book page for advocating for foster children, I could provide resources about volunteering in foster care centers and homes. My space, Twitter, Blogger, You Tube, EBay, Good Reads, Live Journal, Net Log, Slides Share, Buzz net, About Me. There are so many social media sites that I could start on for sending out my message for advocacy. By using these social media sites I could send my message across the world and receive impute from other people that are advocating for the same thing that I’m advocating for. This could help me to enhance my strategies and help me succeed with my plan to help childcare classrooms to succeed with foster children in their classrooms.
There is growing recognition that a complementary strategy is needed, one focused on ensuring all foster youth receive the educational opportunities they are promised on paper. This strategy focuses on providing educational advocates to individual foster youth. Most children have parents who serve as their educational advocate, attending parent-teacher conferences, returning teacher phone calls, ensuring enrollment in appropriate classes, and generally making sure their children receive a high quality education. Foster youth frequently lack such educational advocacy. Without an educational advocate many foster children are unable to access appropriate educational opportunities. With numerous adults responsible for a foster child’s well-being and success, it is imperative that anyone be able to refer a child to their local education advocacy system. An educational issue might be identified by a foster parent, relative, teacher, judge, child welfare worker, court-appointed special advocate, or group home staff. Making the education advocacy system available to all of these stakeholders ensures that the maximum number of issues will be resolved and the most foster youth serve. I’m trying to help prevent classroom with children in head start program that have too many foster children with behavior issues inside of one classroom.
I feel that the Challenge that I’m facing in presenting this presentation would be the Foster Parents because they don’t understand what is happening inside the classroom with the foster children they have. The reason is they do not volunteer in the program because I have found that most foster parents are in it because of the money and a place to stay. And they seem to not care about the well being of the child. Most foster Parents just bring their foster children to school, with behavior issues, ADHD, Social Emotional Issue, mentally retardation and many other problems. But these Parents are not concern about how these children are affecting the classroom. So when I give speak on all the problems that has been happening in the classroom, and how the teacher is un-able to teach, how other children are getting hurt because of the behaviors of the Foster children, I have to say I’m not blaming the child because it is not their fault, but I will blame the Social worker, lawyers, biological Parents, Present of SOS villages, because before these children are placed in childcare they need to be fully assist because it is unfair that they are taken from their homes and place with strangers and they can’t cope because of the disabilities that they have occurred from being abused, rapped and many other bad things to happen to them.,
