was composed of representatives from the state level, county level, resource families and the private sector. The new curriculum and training of staff are expected to be completed by July '04. Individual counties based on individual needs provide additional in-service training opportunities. The state has on hand a log of training opportunities for the 159 counties for 2002 and 2003. To offset the cutback on state sponsored training institutes is the opportunity for online training to address individual needs at web sites approved by the state. The current recommended site, www.fosterparents.com is also endorsed by the National Foster Parent Association. The initial site approved by the state provides a post-test and certificate of completion. Resource families obtain agency approval or must be directed toward specific training needs. Families may download proof of payment for reimbursement. Other comparable sites will be added as needed. 5 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION: 1. Draft Report - Committee on Pre-Service Training and The Selection Process for Resource Parents 2. See Statewide Data Indicators. In three reporting quarters thus far, Georgia has met its PIP goal to decrease the incidence rate of foster parent maltreatment to 0.94%. 6 th Quarter Report: Utilizing the report from the Committee on Pre-Service Training in addition to reviewing programmatic guidelines from other states, Georgia has moved forward with developing its new pre-service training and new intake procedures for foster and adoptive parents. The new initiative tentatively called IMPACT stands for I-initial interest, M-mutual selection, P-preservice training, A-assessment, C-continuing development, and T-teamwork. IMPACT emphasizes the critical components of foster / adoptive parent preparation and continuing service. IMPACT will consist of a structured two-hour orientation followed by 20 onehour blocks of training. The training blocks are based on the five broad categories identified by the Committee on Pre-Service Training: The Fostering/Adoption Process, Emotional/Cognitive/ Behavioral Implications in Fostering/Adopting, Sexuality and Sexual Orientation, Communication and Partnership, and Identity and Cultural Issues. It is expected that the entire 22-hour curriculum will be completed by May 28, 2004 and training to county staff to begin June, 2004. 6 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION: IMPACT Two Hour Orientation Outline and the IMPACT Training Continuum Outline.
