Training Credit for Movies & Books
DHS has compiled a list of movies and books that have been approved for foster parent in-service training. Foster parents can obtain a maximum of three hours of foster parent credit per training cycle; the other three hours must be obtained through a face-to-face group training setting. Foster parents are required to submit a report (form #470-2540 Foster Parent Training Report) to their licensing worker about what they read or viewed, including a summary of it and include what they learned and how it applies to increasing their skill as a foster parent. VIEW LIST OF APPROVED MOVIES & BOOKS
To request approval for a book or movie not included on the approved list, submit form #470-2541 - Foster Parent Training Application to DHS AT LEAST 30 DAYS before viewing the movie or reading the book. Send the form: to Heather Davidson, Foster Family Program Manager (DHS Division of Adult, Children & Family Services, 5th floor, 1305 E. Walnut St., Des Moines, IA 50319-0114). Approved movies will receive 1 credit hour for each two program hours; theatre and most TV movies are not approved for credit. Books receive 1 credit hour for every 100 pages read up to 3 credit hours if the book is over 300 pages.
