- How accepting were teachers to the idea of modifying assignments to reflect diverse families, including those formed by adoption?
- Do teachers know whether kids are adopted? Do they need to know? Do they feel comfortable asking for this information?
- Did teachers present lessons that included the diversity that adoption represents?
- Does teacher training, either formal or in-service, often include information on adoption?
- What can parents do to help their child’s teacher be more adoption-aware or adoption-sensitive?
