The California Social Work Education Center (CalSWEC) recently published a new online training, “Curriculum for the Worker: Factors in the Overrepresentation of African Americans in the Child Welfare System Research Project.” This web-based curriculum was developed for use by undergraduate and graduate faculty and students in social work programs. It consists of five PowerPoint modules:

- Module II – A Study on Worker Factors in the Overrepresentation of African Americans in Child Welfare
- Module III – African American Family Life
- Module IV – Cultural Competency and Antiracism
- Module V – Overrepresentation of African Americans in the Child Welfare System: Overview
Each module contains slides with narrative information and links to additional readings and related websites and takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.
