Title IV-E Curriculum Module
Discussion Questions
What roles do child, family, and service factors play in re-entry?
- Child factors (demographics, special behavior needs, special health needs, age at placement)
- Family factors (maltreatment, household composition, parent problems that affect ability to care for child, family visits with child, reunification)
- Placement factors (duration of placement, number of placement settings, type of placement setting)
- Service factors (frequency of caseworker contacts with family and child, type of services, placement settings)
What case characteristics might Title IV-E eligibility represent? Does Title IV-E eligibility represent race rather than poverty?
