Common Core
What is it?
What does it
look like now?
How is it working?
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
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
14 Topics with Standardized Learning Objectives• Regions develop curricula which must meet the

• 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
• 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
Why Revise Core?
Improved flexibility
Improved learning experience
Better use of technology
Better reflect practice changes
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)
Common Core 3.0 Concept
Link to practice
Practice skills in the
field
Reinforce skills
• 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
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
