To Mr. Norman Carlson, County Date January 24. 1978
Commissioner !);1(,,, x,1 '
COLORADO From Mr. Walter J . Speckman, Executive Director, Weld County Division_
of Human Resources
Subject: Head Start - Career Development Associate Degrees
One of the overriding goals of any Head Start Program is to involve
parents and community members in the operation of the program. This
enhances their participation in the program as well as providing information
and education to the parents. This process also includes the employing
of parents in the program and providing career advancement opportunities
to these parents.
This aspect of Head Start, while clearly enhancing the operation and
success of the program, carries with it a burden of supplementary training
and education of these non-certified community people and parents.
Realizing this, HEW and the local program have established a special
project to meet these needs. The project, Career Development Associate
Degree (CDA), helps some of our teacher aids and other staff receive a
Associate Degree from Aims Community College. The goal of all Head
Start Programs is to have all staff certified by 1980. To date, two
staff members have successfully completed the program and eight are
currently involved.
HEW provides the cost of training materials and teachers. The Division
of Human Resources (HRD) is requested to allow staff time and occassional
travel costs.
A major part of the CDA is the Home Start Training Center in Meliville,
Utah. HEW has established this center to prepose non-certified staff
for the entire federal region in the Home Start concepts. (Parents are
the Prime Educators to their children).
To participate in this program Head Start has budgeted to send six or
eight people to these week long sessions during the course of the next
year. The costs to the grant would represent travel and lodging,
approximatly $100.00 per person.
Clearly this is in conflict with the policy of the commission concerning
travel out-of-state.
The Division of Human Resources is concerned that this current policy
will prevent these staff members from receiving their competency based
Associate Degrees. Could we discuss the possibility of modifing the
current policy to allow this type of training?
