Description:	Teachers and administrators at children's schools are there to support families even though they don't always understand the special issues unique to adoption. Everything from dealing with teachers and staff to assignments, choosing schools and handling "problems" when they arise will be covered. The first half of the workshop will focus on how school kids think about adoption as preschoolers, school-aged kids and adolescents and the implications for curriculum and parent interactions with their child's school as well as how to choose the right school for your child and when and how to advocate for your child when adoption issues arise? The second half will focus on learning and curriculum related issues, which often arise with adopted kids and approaches to handling privacy issues for children in school when they are asked about their adoption information and status.
