University of Minnesota. Continuing Education and Extension
Variant namesThe Foster Care Certificate Program was initiated in 1970 by the University of Minnesota's Continuing Education and Extension division as an experimental course for foster parents in the Twin Cities. The program was designed to help foster parents understand their role in the foster care system in Minnesota. In 1972, the program was expanded to offer a 15 credit certificate in foster parent education. Still directed at foster parents, the certificate focused on how to improve services to children in foster homes "by increasing the competency and clarity of the role definition of foster parents." Course offerings included challenges to the foster child, child and adolescent development, and the child and the community. Burton Galaway, instructor in the School of Social Work, was coordinator of the program.
