Coaches
In 2010, the OCWTP developed an infrastructure to support county–specific coaching. The goal of coaching is to enhance and strengthen the skills of child protective practitioners. A coach focuses on honing the real-world performance of skills. Research indicates that coaching is an investment for PCSAs wanting to ensure that staff and certified caregivers use the skills learned in training when they return to the field.
Coaches work with directors, caseworkers, supervisors, and certified caregivers. The purpose of coaching is to support the coachee as he or she further develops skills that will be outlined in a coaching plan.
How Is Coaching Implemented?
Learners interested in participating in the OCWTP coaching program, search for “Coaching Request Form” in the CAPS LMS and follow the instructions to submit the form. RTC staff will reach out with additional information upon receipt.
