RBWO Foundations: Classroom Component Registration

RBWO Foundations: Classroom Component Training

The classroom training is conducted using a hybrid model. There will be four (4) days of virtual training via Microsoft Teams. Participants will then be required to take the test in person. The scheduled testing date is Wednesday, January 21, 2026. If this date do not align with your schedule, we will discuss alternative options in class.

The complete Foundations course consists of three (3) weeks of e-learning / field practice experience and one (1) week of classroom instruction for a total of four (4) weeks of instruction. The classroom instruction component is comprised of topics such as the history of child welfare services, applicable federal and state laws, DFCS values and culture, family–centered practice, trauma-informed child welfare practices, child maltreatment, NTDC overview, RBWO Individualized Service Plan and Discharge Plan, the DFCS Case Plan and working in partnership.

The classroom component of Foundations culminates with a knowledge-based competency test based on the materials covered during the 4-day classroom experience. The test which consists of objective questions (multiple choice, true-false…etc.) must be passed with a score of at least 80% in order to earn credit for the classroom component. The online component of Foundations does not have a knowledge-based test. However, there are module completion verification activities required.
