Listen in on a discussion among three adult adoptees who are working across grade levels Pre K-8 in school settings. They will share both their ownexperiences and research to inform educational practice when working with children and suggest best practices when working with adoptees. They will answer questions about what resources are available to teachers and parents, explore the kind of emotional support needed to support adoptees in a classroom setting and learn how to identify and address possible pitfalls in education for adopted children/families. We will also review research about brain development of adopted children and how that can show up for students.
