- Native Foster Parent Training: NTDC Curriculum
- Course Code
- TTCP X317.T | May 8 to July 17, 2025
- Format
- Virtual
The National Training and Development Curriculum (NTDC) is a curriculum based on research and input from experts, families who have experience with fostering or adopting children, and former foster and adoptive youth. It provides potential foster or adoptive parents with the information and tools needed to parent a child who has experienced trauma, separation, and loss. To ensure the curriculum is culturally relevant to American Indian Alaska Native Tribal Nations, consultants from tribal communities advised and assisted in developing the curriculum. It is a state-of-the-art classroom and online program that helps to prepare prospective foster and adoptive parents to be successful parents. In addition, the NTDC gives parents access to information and resources needed to continue building skills once they have a child in their home.
This curriculum and the accompanying resources are FREE for all tribal child welfare agencies.
