Our first class was interesting.. kinda boring I will admit. That is only because the first day was sort of an overview of what all we will be going over throughout the 9 weeks in class. It looks like the information will be very interesting and definitely informative and we are both looking forward to absorbing as much as we can. I will share with you our experience, as we go.
Pride stands for Parent Resources for Information, Development, and Education. PRIDE is Orange County’s standardized curriculum of training for adoptive parents and the new model of practice.
The PRIDE curriculum was developed by the Child Welfare League of America. The model is designed to strengthen the quality of family adoption. It provides a standardized, consistent, structured framework for the competency-based development and support for adoptive families. Prior to becoming an adoptive parent, applicants will participate in a pre-service training by a team of co-facilitators that includes experienced foster parents, and Social Workers. Prospective adoptive parents will be required to attend 27 hours of pre-service training.
The training includes nine sessions
Session One: Connecting with PRIDE. This session helps participants learn about the world of adoption through the stories of children receiving child welfare services. Participants can see adoptive families work as part of the team that provides for the challenging needs of children in their care.
