There are nine eLearning modules (some with multiple parts) that provide an overview of the content and a transfer of learning knowledge check. The eLearnings can be accessed as many times as needed.

Each module contains content in the Participant Guide that provides an overview and description of the topic, as well as source materials that provide more complete information that can be read by the director. Content and source materials come from literature in the practice and academic worlds, subject matter experts, and training organizations that have been identified as useful by child welfare professionals in California and across the nation. There are also learning activities that include reflection questions and suggested exercises for the director. Most of the exercises will produce results that will be directly useful to the director’s job. Activities within each module are intended to support the learning objectives. Materials and activities will be reviewed and discussed during coaching sessions.

Coaching support will take place on a monthly basis (which may include two sessions) but may occur more frequently, depending on a participant’s learning needs. The coaching sessions will offer support and guidance within each module’s segments. Each coaching session will begin with a review of reading materials, learning activities, and the director’s professional development plan. Together the coach and director will examine the director’s learning needs in the topic area with the coach guiding the director to identify strengths, needs and action steps to increase subject mastery.
