The College of Family Engagement (CFE) at HS University is designed to give you strategies for strengthening the capacity of HS/EHS and other early childhood programs to implement and use strengths-based and culturally-informed practices. Participants learn to develop family engagement methodologies that are systemically integrated across Head Start and communities which can be sustained over time. Head Start family service workers who want Head Start recognition for their professional achievement and who want to unlock new Head Start career paths come to HS University. HS University's programs focus only on serving Head Start, Early Head Start, Migrant Head Start and Tribal Head Start families. Our program is designed to ensure family workers are meeting Head Start standards by empowering parents through partnership agreements and goal setting processes, the requirements of the Head Start Act and the Office of Head Start. HS University is an approved National Association of Social Workers Continuing Education provider.
Our courses provides a action plan for Head Start family service workers to implement and manage those requirements. As a Head Start professional, you must ensure you have these specialized skills. A credential from HS University gives Head Start family service workers around the US confidence in knowing that they have the skill set and regulatory knowledge needed to reach excellence in family support.
