Child & Youth Care Network Learning Zone Launch

The International Child and Youth Care Network provides a free online portal for Child and Youth Care practitioners ( including foster parents) to share discussions and issues and learn from colleagues. They recently launched a new free learning resource – The Learning Zone Network which offers free online learning modules.

Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Network Leon Fulcher, MSW, Phd, recently launched the new “The Learning Zone Network”.

The Learning Zone Network provides “an in-service education initiative for Child and Youth Care workers and Foster Parents seeking quality professional e-learning opportunities. Offered over the internet these courses provide the opportunity for self-paced learning in a flexible format using the latest technologies (video, audio podcasts, etc.).”

Access to the material on the Learning Zone Network is free.

Those working in Child and Youth Care may wish to sign up for the International Child and Youth care Network and Learning Zone. The Learning Zone offers a unique modular online environment for learning and development in Youth and Child care work.

The short learning modules on the Learning Zone are very interesting. They are video based ( you will need to use a computer which is Flash enabled) and allow you to test your observational skills – but be warned they are not easy!
