Tools for Supervisory Excellence is a comprehensive professional development program designed to provide leadership development, skill building and networking opportunities for child welfare supervisors. This program is grounded in the leadership behaviors of the Integrated Core Practice Model (ICPM) and incorporates the latest research and best practice approaches to support child welfare leaders. This 5-month cohort-based program includes:
- Cultural Consensus Approach: Participants determine the training content and competencies that will benefit their own professional development.
- Learning Labs: These take place in two-day sessions offered approximately every 4 weeks.
- 360-degree Evaluation: Participants complete a 360-degree evaluation to assess strengths and areas for continuing professional development.
- Coaching: Each participant will be assigned a coach to help them apply what they are learning in the program.
Because participants complete the series as a cohort, it is vital that participants commit to attending all sessions.
