4. Common Core

5. Current Common Core • Developed 8-10 years ago (rolled out in 2005) • 7 topics with standardized curricula and 14 topics with standardized learning objectives • Doesn’t really train skill – mostly works on knowledge • Topic based • Meets federal and state requirements • Meets evaluation goals (trainees do learn in class!) http://calswec.berkeley.edu/common-core-curricula-child-welfare-workers

6. 7 Topics with Standardized Content • Learning objectives, trainer tips, training content, powerpoint slides, etc. • These are often referred to as phase 1 topics: • Framework for Child Welfare Practice • Child and Youth Development • Critical Thinking and Assessment • Child Maltreatment Identification 1 • Child Maltreatment Identification 2 • Family Engagement in Case Planning and Case Management • Permanency and Placement

7. 14 Topics with Standardized Learning Objectives • Regions develop curricula which must meet the identified learning objectives. These are often referred to as phase 2 topics: • CWS Documentation for Use in the Legal System • MEPA • Substance Abuse • CWS/CMS • Values and Ethics • Mental Health • Child Welfare Practice in a Multicultural Environment • ICWA • Intimate Partner Violence • Introduction to Social Worker Safety / Time Management / Stress Management • Supporting Educational Rights and Achievement • Health Care Needs • Court Procedures • Basic Interviewing

8. Why Revise Core?

9. Principles of the Revision • Focus more on the skills beginning social workers need – clear out other content • Train in ways that work for more social workers – include classes, on-the-job, and computer training • Make sure content works for all counties • Meet federal requirements (as outlined in the CFSR and the Program Improvement Plans completed by California in 2004 and 2009)

10. Common Core 3.0 Concept • Divide content into practice blocks and link to actual social work activities • Give basic content in the classroom or on the computer and then have on-the-job activities to practice new skills • Come back after some experience on-the-job to refine skills

11. Common Core 3.0 • Content is divided into 6 blocks • Each block has 100 level online trainings and classroom training • After the trainee completes the 100 level, there are on-the-job activities to complete for each block • After the field activities, there is an additional class in each block called the 200 level
