5 INTRODUCTION TO THEOHIO CHILD WELFARE TRAINING PROGRAM The Ohio Child Welfare Training Program (OCWTP) is a comprehensive, competencybased, in-service training program that provides high quality, culturally responsive, family centered, job related training for staff in public child welfare agencies throughout Ohio. The OCWTP is a model program that includes these essential elements: Use of a Universe of Competencies Competencies are statements of the knowledge, skills, and values needed by workers to do their jobs. The Utilization of an Individual Training Needs Assessment (ITNA) Instrument The ITNA is used to identify an individual worker s training needs. The Development and Certification of Competent Trainers OCWTP trainers must have the appropriate course content knowledge, the necessary adult training skills, and the ability to promote family centered and culturally competent practice. Development of Job-Related Training Content Training content relevance is assured by using our universe of competencies as the guide to curriculum development. The Utilization of Transfer of Learning (TOL) Activities TOL activities promote the effective and continuing application by trainees to their jobs of the knowledge and skills gained in training. A Statewide System for the Delivery of Training Training is developed and delivered based upon data gathered from ongoing training needs assessments of workers in each region. APPROVED PROVIDER STATUS The Central Ohio Regional Training Center (CORTC), as part of the OCWTP, is an Approved Provider through the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board (CSWMFTB). Programs sponsored by the CORTC meet Board guidelines and can be used by licensees toward their social work and counselor license renewal requirements. Certification will be authorized only for the persons who both 1) attend training in its entirety; and2) evaluate the event via the form provided. Social Work Counselor RSX RCS Workshops identified with an asterisk (*) carry approval numbers for both social work and counselor licensure. Participants MAY NOT use the same workshop to satisfy renewal requirements for both licenses. The CSWMFTB requires that training participants receive certificates of attendance that reflect the number of workshop hours exclusive of breaks. The OCWTP excludes only the lunch break from the workshop hours. OCWTP certificates of attendance include both sets of training hours. For example, a certificate for a one-day workshop includes 6 hours of training credit for the OCWTP, which will be included in your OCWTP training record. The certificate also indicates that you receive 5.5 hours of credit for the CSWMFTB, which should be submitted on your CSWMFTB renewal application. 4

6 CERTIFICATES It is the policy of the OCWTP that participants receive credit for training only if they attend a workshop in its entirety and complete an evaluation form at the end. A participant, who misses more than 15 total minutes of a workshop, whether for personal or professional reasons, cannot receive a certificate for that training. To receive a certificate, a participant must attend the entire training session no exceptions. Sessions will start on time. Please be prompt for all trainings. TRAINING REQUIREMENTS New direct service workers are required by ODJFS to complete Caseworker Core during their first year of employment. The required training consists of the OCWTP s eight Core modules: CW 1: CW 2: CW 3: CW 4: CW 5: CW 6: CW 7: CW 8: Family-Centered Approach to Child Protective Services Engaging Families in Family-Centered Child Protective Services Legal Aspects of Family-Centered Child Protective Services Assessment and Safety Planning in Family-Centered Child Protective Services Gathering Facts in Family-Centered Child Protective Services* Service Planning and Delivery in Family-Centered Child Protective Services* Child Development: Implications for Family-Centered Child Protective Services* Separation, Placement, and Reunification in Family-centered Child Protective Services ODJFS requires completion of 36 hours of specialized and advanced child welfare training each year after the first year. Courses should be those identified by the ITNA instrument. 5

7 YOUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT DATA AT WORK All child welfare caseworker training scheduled this quarter has been planned based upon identified needs from the ITNA instrument. The information gathered from the ITNAs, completed bi-annually by child welfare staff throughout the region, has enabled us to ensure that the training we provide fulfills the needs of the population served. CULTURAL COMPETENCE All training products and activities of the OCWTP are designed to promote culturally competent child welfare practice throughout Ohio. Cultural competence is the understanding of how values, beliefs, attitudes, and traditions influence one s own and other people s behavior; the understanding of the content and dynamics of specific cultures, including one s own; and the ability to use this knowledge to work productively with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. We believe that a comprehensive initiative through in-service training can help our service system meet the multiple and diverse needs of our clients. Your involvement and support are appreciated in the achievement of this very important service goal. TRAINEES FROM OUTSIDE THE CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM The workshops listed in this training schedule are offered primarily for child welfare staff from county child welfare and job and family services agencies. Staff from contract agencies may be registered on a space-available basis. 6

8 RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TRAINING BENEFITS 1. Arrive promptly to the training site, prepared to learn. Return promptly from lunch and breaks. 2. Make adequate arrangements for coverage of workload assignments while away from the office. 3. Turn off all mechanical devices, such as pagers and cellular telephones. 4. Participate actively research indicates people remember 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, 70% of what they say, and 90% of what they do. 5. Be sensitive to the training needs of others. Talking and/or paper shuffling during a presentation is disruptive and prevents you from learning valuable information. 6. Plan how you will use the information you learn in training in your daily workload assignments (Transfer of Learning). 7. Assist the trainer and RTC by thoroughly completing an evaluation of the training and picking up any debris left in your area. ROAD CONSTRUCTION ALERT The Columbus Crossroads project is underway. Visit for a map of ramp openings and closings. Allow yourself additional driving time due to delays. A participant, who misses more than 15 total minutes of a workshop, whether for personal or professional reasons, cannot receive a certificate for the training. 7

9 PRIORITY TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES The OCWTP provides learning activities that address high priority learning needs as identified by the statewide CFSR/CPOE reviews and individual training needs assessments--and may be useful for informing your training decisions. The learning activities are offered through a variety of delivery methods (workshops, GAP sessions, learning labs, and coaching) and learning platforms (in the classroom, by computer, or on-thejob learning). Some learning activities can be used in a variety of ways: from self-directed just in time trainings to on-the-job sessions to be led by a supervisor (instructional support provided). Each of the learning activities has been designed to accommodate an appropriate level of learning for its intended audience from the learner who knows very little on the topic to the learner who is looking to refine skills. Feel free to peruse the information on the next page or first view a video demo of the page. Log on to E-Track to view the full range of training opportunities 8

42 SAFETY TRAINING THE PSYCHOBIOLOGY OF HATRED AND VIOLENCE* Learning Code: Date: January 28, 2016 Time: 9:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m. (6 hrs.) Trainer: Joe Shannon Description: Hatred is an inborn or learned emotional response to specific persons, places, or things. It is one of several factors which can underlie violence and aggression in any culture. In this country, more people die from acts of violence and aggression (e.g., murder, manslaughter) than from three major respiratory disorders combined bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Assaults are the major cause of injury to women. Homicide is the most common cause of death among black men in their late teens and early twenties. In short, violence and the hatred which may underlie it are serious public health problems. Moreover, violence is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon that requires careful study, and comprehensive prevention and intervention strategies. This workshop will explore in-depth the underlying causes of violence (including hatred) and will offer concrete solutions for preventing or reducing violent, aggressive or otherwise inappropriate behavior.

Trainer: Lynne Anderson and Lamar Graham Description: When planning for permanency with adolescents, we have to think and use approaches differently from when planning for younger children. Permanency for older youth is not centered around the living arrangement; it is not simply providing independent living services; and it is not just offering adoption. Instead, it provides youth with the opportunity to forge lifelong permanent connections to people they identify as important. This training allows participants to experience the impact of permanent connections and grasp why they are important. Finally, participants will come to understand how adolescent development relates to permanency. Audience: Supervisors, Social Workers and other Staff 84
