This study examined teachers perceptions of motivation, behaviors, and academic performance among foster care and non-foster care students in elementary and middle schools. Eighty-five (85) teachers were selected to participate in the study. The participants were composed of teachers in the Atlanta metropolitan area who teach foster care and non-foster care students in elementary and middle school. The survey questionnaire utilized was a four-point continuum Likert scale. The findings of the study indicated that among foster care and non-foster care students, there was a statistically significant difference between motivation and behaviors, there was not a statistically significant difference between academic performance and motivation, and there was not a statistically significant difference between academic performance and behaviors. - Metadata URL:
