    Abstract

This guide, Building Effective Training Systems for Child Welfare Agencies, provides an analytic framework for child welfare agencies or Tribal leadership teams to build a shared understanding of and commitment to the value, role, capacity, and development of their training systems. Given the complex, rapidly changing child welfare environment, managers must view the training system strategically, as a key management tool for sustaining organizational change and improvement. We hope this material helps State, county and Tribal child welfare agency leaders and their university partners understand each others perspectives, develop mutually beneficial strategies for improving their training system, and build productive relationships across other agency systems (e.g., case practice, policy, and quality assurance).
