Distance Learning Articles

We appreciate your dedication to learning and your commitment to supporting foster children. Your effort makes a real difference!

 

Please remember that Ohio Administrative Code 5180:2-5-33(F)(3)(ii) allows only 20% of your required training hours to be completed through reading materials. This ensures a well-rounded experience that includes interactive and practical learning opportunities. Thank you for investing in your growth and in the lives of the children you serve!
