Late last spring, the Center’s co-director, Julia Jean-Francois was invited by the Annie E. Casey Foundation to Florida to deliver a two-day workshop on family-focused approach to foster care delivery. The workshop, called “Critical Thinking,” was part of the Foster Care Redesign initiative of the Florida Department of Children and Families and the Family Support Services of North Florida.
The first day of the workshop featured a series of role play scenarios, using an effective “cut and rewind” technique, which allows participants to discuss what they observe and to suggest alternative approaches when the role playing resumes. About a month later, the second day of the workshop reunited participants to discuss and analyze their experiences with implementing the concepts discussed in the first session.
