This pre-recorded webinar is presented by Kerry Wrenick, State Coordinator for Homeless Education, and Kristin Myers, Foster Care Education Coordinator. This one-hour pre-recorded webinar addresses McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Education. The goal is to provide an overview of ESSA implementation and helpful guidance in working with vulnerable populations. The presenters will offer information pertaining to identification, eligibility, enrollment, school stability, and much more. Attendees will gain a basic understanding (or refresher) of responsibilities in meeting the needs of students experiencing homelessness or foster care.
After you have viewed the webinar, join your peers for the Reverse Classroom session, outlined below.
NAEHCY’s “reverse classroom” is a concept where the target audience watches a pre-recorded lecture at their convenience and then engage in a live webinar for application of knowledge, directed problem solving, and discussion. This format is being utilized to enhance the understanding and implementation of rights afforded to students under McKinney-Vento and Foster Care Education. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit specific questions and scenarios to be discussed in an open forum, leading to a collaborative method of learning and sharing.
After registering you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the training.
