What is Common Core 3.0?
Common Core 3.0 is the result of a large-scale revision of the Common Core training materials for new Child Welfare Social Workers and Supervisors and was designed by CalSWEC with the support of the State of California, Regional Training Academies, and Community Partners. The first implementation of training commenced on all Lineworker Cores on January 1, 2016 and full implementation of all six blocks of Common Core 3.0 started on February 1st, 2017.
Common Core 3.0 uses multi-modality training delivered over several weeks that includes classroom learning, eLearning, and Field Activities to provide a variety of learning modalities and transfer of learning opportunities. CWDS offers Common Core 3.0 in various counties we serve according to a standardized plan. Trainings are facilitated by a number of different experts in the field of child welfare services who use a variety of teaching methods appropriate to an adult, professional audience.
Please see an overview of Common Core 3.0 on the CalSWEC website: Common Core 3.0 Overview.
