benefits of educational interventions for foster children



Hello all -
 
Does anyone have any information on the findings of evaluation research into educational interventions (specifically those utilizing some form of computer literacy training) for children in foster care?
 
Thanks,
 
Anna Hall

Anna,

The three studies of Independent Living Programs (ILP) that included a comparison group of foster youth not receiving ILP services (Waldinger & Furman, 1994; Scannapieco et al., 1995, 1996; Lindsey & Ahmed, 1999) found that the youth receiving the services were performing better on educational outcomes. Several evaluations of the Foster Youth Services program (a program in California) reported children receiving those services (tutoring, counseling, academic case management) made improvement on academic outcomes. Wolf et al. (2000), reporting on an experiential education program, found that a higher percentage of youth participating in the program graduated from high school or earned a GED than their counterparts not participating in the program. Donlevy (2000) conducted an evaluation of a school that included academic courses and technology-based vocational courses (students building, testing, and using their own computers) and found that students showed improvement on the Regents Competency Tests in New York.

I hope that is helpful.

Charlie

Dear List Members -

We are conducting some research around child welfare
training. I am currently looking for exercises (that
instructors might use in the MSW classroom) related to
person in environment assessments (PIE). I remember
these from my days in HBSE but unfortunately I can't
find the materials. Does anyone have such exercises
that I could use with our staff and researchers?

Bill
