  11. In Their Own Words The material was very good and very relevant to our job. The assignments were very valuable to me as they made me think more specifically about what kind of leader I am and what I hope to develop into as a leader. The assignments helped me understand what is involved in making these changes happen. www.ncwwi.org A Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

  12. Current Work Environment Workload Time Demands for Accountability Professional development-usually focused on job specific training vs. development. Time for Reflection Learning Format www.ncwwi.org A Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network

  13. www.ncwwi.org A Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network It is a fantastic program and the information is great…. Again having/finding time to do everything is the problem.  Between vacation, losing a worker, and a fatality, with only 3 workers and being director/supervisor, it has been a very challenging time for us. I plan on doing it. The hardest part is that since it is online and I have time to schedule it whenever, it gets put on the backburner when I have other work constantly coming that has to get done ASAP.

  14. www.ncwwi.org A Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network I know it is the wave of the future, but I do not care for web based training and teleconferences. I think there is a lot of valuable information to be learned from this. It is very overwhelming to tackle large assignments with all our other obligations. I recommend it to others. It realistically identifies the changes/challenges being faced by today’s social workers.

  15. Summary The quality of casework, the positive outcomes of service delivery, the successful recruitment and retention of workers and the ability of the organization to function in times of change and stress depend on the recognition, development and affirmation of supervisors as crucial organizational and community leaders.(LAS Introductory Module) www.ncwwi.org A Service of the Children’s Bureau, a Member of the T/TA Network
