53 HOUR FOSTER PARENT EDUCATION PROGRAM
(THOMPSON-SHUSWAP)

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Welcome to the on-line 53 Hour Foster Parent Education Program, which consists of fourteen training modules.  Foster Parents need to read through and complete the specified exercises within each module.  Upon completion of the module Foster Parents are required to fill out the question sheet that pertains to the module they have just finished and submit it to ICS.  Your answers will be reviewed by the
Network Facilitators at Interior Community Services, Kari and Deb, who upon review will contact you by phone to conclude the interactive portion of the module.  Once this process has been completed, you will then be given credit for completion of that module.

Foster Parents may proceed with the next module after submitting an answer sheet.

Questions? - Contact Deb at dallan@interiorcommunityservices.bc.ca

 

NOTES:
1) All modules are in the Acrobat (.pdf) format which requires your machine to have a copy of Acrobat Reader on it. Most machines already have the reader installed, but if not you can get a free copy at the
Adobe Acrobat site.

2) It is wise to back up your work. E-mail and data sent over the Internet can be lost because of a computer malfunction or of a connection loss. To avoid disappointments, you should back up any work you do. For instance, before pressing the "submit" button on one of the Answer Sheets, open the File Menu and choose "Save As..." to then save your work as a text (.txt) file to either your hard drive or to a floppy disk on your machine.


 

TRAINING MODULES
Each Module consists of things you need to know in order to complete the appropriate question sheet you will eventually submit to the Interior Community Services Network Facilitator.

QUESTION SHEETS
Pressing the {Submit} button upon completion of a question sheet passes your responses forward by e-mail.
