Implementation Manuals Classroom-Based Training
Implementation Manuals are available for three target populations of the NTDC:
- families who foster, provide kinship care and/or adopt children from the child welfare system,
- families who adopt via the intercountry or private domestic process, and
- American Indian Alaska Native families who foster, provide kinship care and/or adopt children from the tribal child welfare system.
The chapters of the Implementation Manual take the professionals implementing the NTDC through the background of the development of NTDC as well as all three components of the curriculum. Practical considerations for implementation of each component are shared, providing a roadmap for implementing the NDTC with integrity, while recognizing the adaptations that may be required to meet unique jurisdictional needs.

Participant Resource Manual
The Participant Resource Manual was developed based on the principles of adult learning theory, providing a structure for participants to engage in critical self-reflection as they complete Online and Classroom-Based themes. The Participant Resource Manual contains all of the handouts that will be needed in the classroom environment and contains a summary of additional resources for each theme that participants can access on their own to support self-directed learning beyond the classroom.
Sites will need to determine how to provide the Participant Resource Manual to families. Options include to provide manuals in hard copy or in an electronic format. In addition, sites may find that they want to provide the manual content by theme rather than in one document.
Click here for a link that can be shared with participants for downloading a copy of the Participant Resource Manual in its entirety.
* Here you will be able to download individual sections of the Participant Resource Manual to create a custom version that includes only the themes that you are using.
