National Data Toolkit: New Resource on Using Data to Support Students Experiencing Foster Care
Presenters: Legal Center for Foster Care and Education: Sneha Barve, Esq. And Kathleen McNaught, Esq.
Date: May 22, 2025
Time: 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Description: In February 2025, the Legal Center for Foster Care and Education, a project of the American Bar Association's Center on Children and the law, released a new resource, the National Data Toolkit, to encourage child welfare and education agencies to work together to improve the quality of their information and data sharing practices. The resource guides users through an explanation of why sharing foster care and education data is important, lays out the legal framework for data sharing, and includes several tools and resources that support improved data and information-sharing practices. The toolkit synthesizes several existing resources and highlights new resources, such as a comprehensive data guide, an information-sharing guide for schools, and several snapshots of data-driven local practices. The toolkit was created with funding and support from the Hilton Foundation.
During this webinar, participants will learn about recently developed tools and resources that support improved data and information sharing practices for students experiencing foster care. The presenters will highlight the importance of data and information sharing, explain the legal framework for data sharing including federal requirements, and spotlight exemplary data practices from around the country. Participants will also have access to a new comprehensive data guide, with actionable tools to help stakeholders evaluate and improve their practices around data sharing.

Introduction to The Neurosequential Model
Presenter: Dr. Bruce Perry
Description: The Neurosequential Model has had global impact - informing professionals in a broad array of disciplines throughout the world. The approach has been embraced by parents and caregivers, psychiatrists, physicians, policy makers, law enforcement, clinicians, educators and coaches. As the approach is adopted by communities that work to help children grow, the concepts of neurodevelopment are incorporated into their core understanding across multiple settings including clinical (therapeutic) settings, schools, caregiving settings, sport, foster and adoptive care settings, etc. In this presentation, Dr. Perry will review the Introduction to the core concepts of the Neurosequential Model that has been taking place across multiple settings in California which inform staff of the protective factors and key concepts and provide an understanding of how a child’s brain works through their life experiences and trauma. NMT Training Certification, NME Training, and the complementing Introduction to the Neurosequential Model trainings which teach staff how to approach family communication, are enhancing protective factors to support youth develop positive coping skills, and build positive social networks that support the youth’s self- regulation.
