Our Online
programs are designed to benefit working Head Start
professionals in a number of ways. Classes are offered one
at a time, in a sequence. There are no formal semesters, so students
can begin a course of study any month of the year. A student
can concentrate on one level at a time, and when a
credential level is obtained they can move on to the next
level or move forward to receive a professional certificate.
Our online program includes:
Each online class lasts
six weeks. A student can
sign on any hour of the day or night, taking part at times
that best fit his or her schedule. While this flexibility is
unprecedented, it requires greater than average discipline
and does not allow a student to "coast." Students
devote an average of fifteen to twenty hours a week to their
studies. The
Head
Start Program Performance Standards which defines the
compliance review of a Head Start program is the foundation
of our credential approach. To
accomplish excellence in services, our
program is designed around an attainment level of
knowledge and skills advancement. As a candidate, you
can acquire a credential that matches your current position or
a promotion advancement. As a student, you
can advance and acquire new competency based skills for
performance excellence.
