Ms. Collins is a retired employee of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). She retired from the DCFS as a District Supervisor in April 2008 where she provided direct supervision to first line supervisors in the Child Welfare program.
Recently, she has been offered an opportunity to contract with Northwestern State University to provide services as a Child Welfare Coach to the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). In this role, she would collaborate and coordinate with the child welfare supervisor to create and implement a professional development plan for Child Welfare Trainees. The plan focuses on identifying the individual strengths and needs of new employees. As a Child Welfare Coach she would also provide on the job individual and small group training to Child Welfare Trainees. It is possible that she would also be required to develop curriculum's, update curriculum's, research assigned training topics and to provide classroom training. She would also assist Trainees in transferring learning from the classroom to the job. In the position she would play a key role in supporting and assisting the Child Welfare Trainee to improve their performance as they work with children, families, providers and other stakeholders involved with the child welfare system.
