  1. Highlights of Test Results for Common Core February, 2014

  2. Background • 2002 – CalSWEC, RTAs/IUC began development of CC training • Part of an overall strategic plan for child welfare training evaluation • Purpose: to develop rigorous methods to assess and report effectiveness of training so that the findings can be used to improve training & training-related services.

  3. Highlights • Common Core test modules include Family Engagement in Case Planning & Case Management, Permanency & Placement, and Child and Youth Development. • Since FY11 – FY13, there were between 589 & 682 pretest-posttest pairs of CalSWEC MSW-IV-E graduates, non-IV-E MSWs, and non-IV-E trainees • All participants made significant gains from pre- to post-test. • MSWs and MSW-IV-E graduates scored higher on some pre-tests (e.g., Permanency & Placement and Family Engagement and Case Planning). • On the Child Forensic Attitude Scale (CFAS), IV-E graduates showed significant gains in the areas of sensitivity, specificity and less skepticism toward reports of child abuse. Gains were significantly greater than those of non-IV-Es in sensitivity.

  4. Who is the IV-E graduate?* Typical IV-E graduates: • Identify themselves as Hispanic / Latino or Caucasian • Have English as a first language • In current position for less than 6 months at the time of training • Have not worked in CW prior to their current position • Do not carry a caseload • Have discussed their training needs with a supervisor prior to attending training • Know clients with whom they could apply what they have learned • Compared with non-IV-Es, they are more likely to: • Have 6 months or more of previous CW experience • Be younger • Know clients with whom they could apply what they had learned • Expect to find Core less worthwhile than non-Title IV-E trainees. • *Since FY06-07

  5. The Face of the IV-E Graduate is Changing • More MSW-IVE graduates: • Identify themselves as Hispanic/Latino • Have English as a Second Language • Have worked in child welfare prior to their current position • Carry a caseload • Report behavior associated with transfer of learning (e.g. discussing their training needs with their supervisors, having clients in mind with whom they can apply what they’ve learned).
