Abstract: The typical educational profile of a youth placed in out-of-home care was
developed, and the needs of these students were compared to a variety of
educational settings available. The observations made at the Boys & Girls Homes
School and the interviews of teachers, administrators, social workers, and youths
were then used to develop a method of measuring the success of these youths
and the schools they attend. Results showed that as educators apply the
principles of individualization while understanding the concepts of resiliency
and a solution-focused approach, students who have been placed in out-of-home
care will succeed.
