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.

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
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)
CCv3.0: Key Points for Evaluation
• 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
While CCv3.0 is being developed…

• 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).
CCV3.0: TOL is where we want to Go

• 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:– 1st mtg – Prep trainees for Core learning and eval– 2nd mtg – Check in re: training & test results thus far, and
prep for field-based/TOL activities & eval (& link to supervision)
– 3rd mtg – Check in re: training & test results overall, ID further needs & supports (& again link to supervision)
Proposal for Training Evaluation in CCv3.0: Evaluation Portfolio

Prep for learningCheckpoint #1
• Assess status of training & eval
• Prep for FBT & TOL Eval
Checkpoint #2
• Assess status of training & eval
• ID further needs and supports
Checkpoint #3
Evaluation Portfolio: Process Map
Some 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
• 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
Once CCv3.0 revision plan finalized:
• Supe Core (Emb Eval) 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.)
