The evaluation revealed that effective training practices currentlyinclude IY, MTFC, PCIT, and IY; efficacious training practices include 1-2-3 Magic andMTFC-P; promising training practices include ABC, Caring for Infants with Substance Abuse,Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (CASCW)University of Minnesota School of Social WorkContact: Kristine N.

Training of foster parents is also linked to foster parent satisfaction, increasedlicensing rates, foster parent retention, placement stability, and permanency. (See the QuickReference Guide for associations among these key child welfare outcomes and particular fosterparent trainings and support services.)Effective elements of foster parent training programs include: increasing positive parentchildinteractions (in non-disciplinary situations) and emotional communication skills; teachingparents to use time out; and teaching disciplinary consistency (Kaminski, Valle, Filene, & Boyle,2008). Training programs that incorporate many partners (teachers, foster parents, socialworkers, etc.) with clearly defined roles appear to be the most promising in producing long termchange (i.e., MTFC, IY). Additionally, training that is comprehensive in nature and incorporateseducation on attachment, and training in behavior management methods appears promising ataddressing the complex training needs of treatment foster parents.Although a variety of foster parent training programs currently exist, the review ofresearch leads us to believe that more rigorous studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness ofemerging practices for both pre-service and in-service foster parent trainings. Few of the trainingprograms in this report have been evaluated in a Treatment Foster Care setting.
