What Does MAPP and PRIDE classes mean?

Here in Oregon the foster parent training classes are called Foundation Training. For us it was 4 weeks of 3 hour classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Hello, MAPP stands for Model Approach to Partnership Parenting. Here in New York it is a 30 hour class. (10 weeks 3 hours per week).

Here, we take PRIDE (Parent Resource Information Development Education) classes to get licensed. It's 35 hours of training about discipline, attachment, behavior, effects of neglect/abuse, foster procedures/system, etc. Plus we have to take First Aid/CPR as well as psychotropic medication and universal precautions training.We have to take 30 hours of annual training each year to stay licensed.

I see there are different names depending on your area. Thanks for all the help! :thanks:

Here in AL it is called GPS classes... not sure what it stands for as we just started ours last week... Im assuming the process with all of them are similar. Is that correct?

In Illinois it's 27 hours.
