Participant-Created Case Studies in Multiagency Training

Abstract

The case study has long been a staple of professional education. However, as ongoing training in the human services has come to focus more on interagency collaboration to meet the growing and increasingly complex needs of children and families, traditional training methodology, including the creation and use of case studies, has required corresponding change. This paper describes the work of The Center for Child and Family Studies in bringing case study methodology in line with current practice and training reality and discusses The Center's use of this methodology in multiagency collaborative training.
