“Teachers sugarcoat things, but this is real life.” Illinois to expand simulation labs that train child welfare workers.
In this Tuesday, July 30, 2019 photo, Victor Lasko, State Wide Director of Workforce Development at Illinois Department of Children and Family Services in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, points to a bruise on a doll used for for training new child service investigators. Experts say the Illinois welfare agency under fire for high-profile deaths of children has become a national standout when it comes to giving workers hands-on training.
Illinois’ use of such experiential training focused on child welfare workers is being held up by experts as a national leader as the state plans to expand with a third simulation lab and its university experts write new research on the topic. But the accolades come as the agency faces serious systemic deficiencies, with some of its investigators under fire for high-profile deaths — including a 5-year-old suburban Chicago boy this year.
New Jersey has trained child welfare workers at a New Brunswick academy for about five years. Kansas started offering child protective employees simulation training in 2017. The University of South Carolina Upstate opened a training center in 2010 used by thousands of teachers, students and social service workers.
The Chicago lab includes another apartment with less obvious potential trouble: a cabinet of empty liquor bottles. There’s a courtroom to practice witness testimony and space set up as a doctor’s office or police station. All have cameras, two-way mirrors and microphones for observation.
