I learned that being part of this program the core characteristics is to IMPACT, CULTIVATE, CONNECT, AND ENGAGE! In addition, I learned that Foster care is a temporary arrangement due to parents inability to care for their kids.  Foster Care can be in a foster home, group home, residential home, or care facility.  I also learned that if a child is homeless a pattern may be lack of attendance in school.  The parents of that child is on survival mode and education is the least of their priorities.  Everyone experiences some form of trauma.

All in all, I love the message of being RESILIENT and being KIND ( As Sherry mentioned is a quote that's on her desk)!  (Matos)

Create a Welcome Care Bag for new incoming students. I recall watching a special on Foster Care and one of the things children benefit from having something that belongs to them when they enter a new environment. For example, a backpack that has a toothbrush, hairbrush etc..., so it's something that belongs to them to get them started. In addition, creating a "Breakfast Club." This time can be used to connect with the student, eat breakfast, and tutor. (Matos)

I really appreciated Dr. Burke Harris' explanation of how repeated trauma takes an otherwise helpful adaptation and turns it into a maladaptation. The example of the bear in the woods vs the bear "that comes home every night" was very impactful.
