Through a carefully constructed
series of
leadership training
sessions that blend lectures
with e-learning, case studies,
videos, group workshops, and
individual exercises,
participants will balance
thought-provoking debate and
analysis with assessment and
program development. The faculty
for the LDM program—drawn
entirely from the current Head
Start management
employees—creates a learning
environment that is
invigorating, demanding, and
productive. Participants
enrolled in the program will be
challenged and motivated,
sharing ideas and forging
professional networks that help
to network with other programs
within the Head Start community.
The program is designed around
two levels of knowledge and
skill attainment. A candidate
can acquire a level of
competency that matches his or
her current position. As each
candidate advances, they acquire
new competency based skills.
Graduates of HS University’s LDM
program will be able to
demonstrate competency in the
following areas.
1. Identify
four basic management
dimensions - planning,
organizing, influencing, and
evaluating
2. Recognize
how staff values influence
program values
3. Assess how
critical roles are to
achieving their program
mission
4. Identify
and implement the elements
of a quality Head Start
program and the steps needed
to continuously improve
program quality
