Common Core 3.0 Update • Project Overview and Status • Timeline for Completion • Evaluation
Why Revise Core? • Improved flexibility • Improved learning experience • Better use of technology • Reflecting shift to emerging practice model
Revision Process • Meetings • August 2012 • October 2012 • January 2013 • June 2013 • Participants • RTAs • CWDA • CDSS • County Staff Development • CalSWEC
Revision Concepts • Stakeholder driven • Improved learning experience • Supports shift to integrate current practices • Better use of technology • Improved flexibility
Goals of the Revision • Streamlining content in Common Core • Identifying alternative modalities for delivery of material • Sharpening the focus of Common Core to build key skills that are critical to practice. • Identifying areas of the Core that would best be reinforced with on-the-job training and/or coaching
Goals of the Revision • Aligning Core to practice, including: • Supporting implementation of a practice model • Sequencing of topics • Grouping content into areas of practice • Making the curriculum revision process more responsive to practice changes. • Identifying methods to support the key knowledge and skills in the Common Core for existing staff and other audiences.
Principles of the Revision • Support evidence-based practice • Reflect the knowledge and skills needed for beginning social workers. • Use the modality that most efficiently conveys the information and allows application to practice.
Principles of the Revision • Ensure all training is accessible to all newly hired social workers in the state • Provide content that is appropriate for all counties • Satisfy the federal requirements as outlined in the CFSR and the Program Improvement Plans completed by California in 2004 and 2009.
CC 3.0 Content • Content identification process • Content development process • Content overview
Training Evaluation Update • CCv3.0: Key Points for evaluation • While CCv3.0 is being developed… • A CCv3.0 evaluation proposal: Evaluation Portfolio • Once CCv3.0 revision plan is finalized… • Next Macro Eval Meeting & Webinar
CCv3.0: Key Points for Evaluation • The Common Core 3.0 workgroup has identified some key points for evaluation: • Knowledge tests will continue for select areas • The primary focus will be on collecting data to evaluate acquisition of key skills • The group identified a key skill to begin evaluating (developing strength-based, achievable case plan activities grounded in assessment of strengths and needs), but stakeholders identified a different priority (critical thinking and assessment)
While CCv3.0 is being developed… • Continue to administer: • Demographic forms (Line and Supes) • CYD knowledge test (pre post) • PP knowledge test (pre post) • CMI1 embedded eval • CMI2 embedded eval • Casework Supervision embedded eval • Supervisor Core (Casework Supervision embedded eval): in process of scoring practice round of tests
CCV3.0: TOL is where we want to Go • Where we want to go: • Regions want to provide valuable info to their counties; counties want to use the info to prove their CWWs are getting effective training. • Goal: • Move into eval of Transfer of Learning (TOL) – how learning is applied in the field. Macro Eval Team initially requested TOL eval of writing Case Plan objectives; then CCv3.0 stakeholders requested TOL eval of Safety & Risk Assessments (linked to Case Plans).
Proposal for Training Evaluation in CCv3.0: Evaluation Portfolio • Possible combination that meets county needs, looks at TOL Eval, and can link training to supervision: an Evaluation Portfolio. • Portfolio consists of 3 mtgs w/ Supes/Coaches/ Mentors: • 1stmtg – Prep trainees for Core learning and eval • 2ndmtg – Check in re: training & test results thus far, and prep for field-based/TOL activities & eval (& link to supervision) • 3rdmtg – Check in re: training & test results overall, ID further needs & supports (& again link to supervision)
Evaluation Portfolio: Process MapSome time during Core training (in class, online & in the field), Supe/Coach/Mentor meets with trainees to… *Note: We will need to prepare people to be field advisors/coaches.
Evaluation Portfolio Recommendations(from June 2013 CCv3.0 mtg) • Clarify the purpose of training evaluation of TOL • Clarify the purpose of three meetings/checkpoints • Avoid use of individual raw scores and other numeric test data • Use of evaluation during E-learning modules • Identify first the skills that are considered the most essential • Focus on skill development in the evaluation portfolio • Link to supervisor & unit • Ideal timing of 3 checkpoints • Vetting
Once CCv3.0 revision plan finalized: • Work together to develop TOL evaluation plan (part of agenda for 11/7/13 Macro Eval Team mtg), • Develop formative (course level) assessment forms for each module as they’re being prepared for piloting • Develop and pilot next generation of testing materials on a rolling basis
Next Macro EvalMtgs/Webinars: • Supe Core (EmbEval) Scoring Webinar: Weds, 9/11/13, 1-3pm Pacific • Macro Eval Webinar: Friday, 11/1/13, 1-3pm Pacific (demographics and test results) • Macro Eval Meeting: Thursday, 11/7/13, 10am-3pm in Sacramento (possible edits to strategic plan based on finalization of CCv3.0 revision plan, including TOL evaluation design, test results, etc.)
CC 3.0 Next Steps • LO development • CDOG review of LOs • Stakeholder review of LOs
