Educational Planning of Court-Involved Youth provides a framework for alleviating chronic barriers for youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. This guide combines best-practice recommendations from national research with direct service tactics employed successfully in multiple counties. Included are the necessary components to implement a collaborative, community-centered intervention system that meets the needs of the county, family, and individual. With the understanding that each county carries its own strengths, barriers, and resources, these tools serve as a model for assessing and adapting the system to cater to the unique needs of each area in which it is implemented. This text helps facilitate the coordination and collaboration necessary to foster comprehensive systems and individualized planning for youth.

"Meeting the educational needs of foster youth is a chronic problem that continues to be alarmingly difficult to address. Foster youth enter each classroom with a plethora of prior experiences that can challenge the best educators, challenges that go far beyond the classroom. It is for that reason that a cross disciplinary approach to meeting their needs, including educational needs, is a must. The Framework presented here by Amy Bishop is truly a labor of love and is one that she has developed over the years as she worked to develop, enhance and improve a process by which the foster youth in her community could successfully achieve their educational goals. This is a must read for anyone who works with foster youth; educators, case workers, foster parents, mental health clinicians, and many others- you will all recognize your special place at the table for these deserving youth."
