INSPIRING POTENTIAL WITH HEAD START
If you’ve been a part of Head Start, you know how important this program is for the students, the parents, and the teachers. The successes of this program continue to change the country for the better. It is thanks to the teachers and program staff for making it all possible!
Why Head Start Teachers Need Professional Development
One of the biggest factors in a successful Head Start program is having a well-trained teaching staff. In fact, Head Start educators need training to stay in compliance.
According to Head Start guidelines, grantees and delegate agencies are required to provide orientation for new staff, volunteers and consultants, establish a structured approach to child care center staff training and development that is designed to foster relationships and build knowledge and skills, and include ongoing opportunities for staff to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to implement the content of the Head Start Program Performance Standards.
The staff qualifications and development section of the Head Start Act specifies that each Head Start teacher shall attend not less than 15 clock hours of professional development per year. Such professional development shall, among other things, be high-quality, sustained, intensive, and have a positive and lasting impact on classroom instruction and the teacher’s performance in the classroom, and should be regularly evaluated by the program for effectiveness.
“I loved this program. The information given will greatly help me in my classroom. I was hesitant in signing up for this course due to my age, 74, but it was so easy to follow. Thank you.” - Val T.
“This course is really helpful for anyone interested in becoming a caregiver. The courses will guide you through the whole process, and you will be able to learn and understand easily from the beginning to the end. The best experience I ever had.” - Yerki Ramos F.
