delegate agencies as they work to provide

high quality and effective services to children

and families and address the emerging

priorities of child care partnerships, Head

Start expansion and welfare reform. The

Training and Technical Assistance reflects a

national commitment to quality

improvement, local capacity-building and

ongoing evaluation.

Part I. Purpose and Background

A. Purpose

The purpose of this announcement is

to solicit applications for grants for the

design and/or adaptation of

competency-based training programs

appropriate for utilization in a national

Head Start Family Worker Training and

Credentialing Initiative. Grants will be

awarded to develop methodologies and

approaches to enhance the skills,

knowledge, and effectiveness of Family

Services staff who are working with

parents and young children in Head

Start and Early Head Start, and other

early childhood and child care family

support programs.

Organizations funded under this

Announcement will work cooperatively

with the Head Start Bureau, national

experts, and national organizations in

furthering this initiative.

Successful applicants will be

expected to work collaboratively with

local Head Start programs as well as

with other service agencies and

organizations involved in endeavors,

which grant credit, degrees, and

credentialing of Family Workers.

B. Background

Head Start

Head Start and Early Head Start are

comprehensive child development

programs which serve children from

birth to age five, pregnant women, and

their families. The Early Head Start

program provides services to children

zero to three and serves approximately

50,000 children. Head Start, which

provides services to children age three

to five, currently serves over 850,000

low-income families and their children

through a nationwide network of

approximately 2,100 grantee and

delegate agencies. These agencies serve

children and families through a variety

of program options and service

strategies including center-based, homebased, and family child care

partnerships.

Note: In the balance of this document, the

term ‘‘Head Start’’ refers to both Head Start

and Early Head Start programs and staff,

unless otherwise indicated.

Since its inception in 1965, Head

Start has had a strong commitment and

impressive success in involving,

educating and supporting parents and

families as an integral part of every local

program. For example, recent research

in a nationally representative sample of

programs documented high levels of

parent involvement and satisfaction:

approximately 80% of all parents

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices 22289

participate in home visits, parentteacher conferences, classroom

observations and volunteering and over

85% of parents were very satisfied with

the quality of services their child

received. These findings corroborate the

1999 report of the American Customers

Satisfaction Index, in which Head Start

received the highest rating of any

government program.

Building on this strong record of

success and commitment, the initiative

described in this announcement is

intended to continue to strengthen the

quality of services to and depth of

partnerships with families by enhancing

the training and effectiveness of Family

Workers in all Head Start programs. It

complements a broad series of related

efforts to improve Head Start program

quality, staff credentials, and

accountability, including more specific

performance standards and measures in

children’s literacy and language

development, a new focus on child

outcomes in program monitoring and

self-assessment, expanded funding to

upgrade program quality and staff

compensation, and higher qualification

standards for Head Start teachers.

Family Workers in Head Start

More than 25,000 Family Workers are

employed in local Head Start programs.

Family Workers play a critical role in

developing and supporting the

implementation of Head Start’s family

partnership process. Through this

process the family of each enrolled

child has opportunities to develop and

implement an individualized plan of

services based on their interests and

needs. In many instances, the quality of

support received by families correlates

with the training and qualifications of

the program’s Family Workers.

Collectively, Family Workers

represent a group with varied levels of

professional education/training and

experience. Local agencies have

established a range of qualifications for

Family Workers varying from a Masters

of Social Work (MSW) or other related

degree to a High School diploma.

Accordingly, some Head Start Social

Services and Parent Involvement staff

(known as Family and Community

Partnerships staff since 1998) are college

degreed as well as state licensed or

credentialed. Others have received

undergraduate training or on-the-job

training. Some Family Workers are

current or former parents of Head Start

children. As might be expected, Family

Workers also vary widely in

characteristics such as salary levels,

staffing patterns, fields of study, tenure,

average salary, forms of supervision and

ongoing professional development

opportunities.

Family Worker Training and

Credentialing Initiative

The Family Worker Training and

Credentialing Initiative is designed to

implement a mandate from Congress in

the Head Start Act Amendments of 1994

(P.L. 103–252). This Section of the Act

required that ‘‘the Secretary, in

coordination with concerned public and

private agencies and organizations

examining the issues of standards and

training for family service workers, shall

* * * (1) review and, as necessary,

revise or develop new qualification

standards for Head Start staff providing

such services; (2) promote the

development of model curricula (on

subjects including parenting training

and family literacy) designed to ensure

the attainment of appropriate

competencies by individuals working or

planning to work in the field of early

childhood and family services; and (3)

promote the establishment of a

credential that indicates the attainment

of the competencies that is accepted

nationwide’’.

To assist in planning to carry out the

Congressional mandates, the Head Start

Bureau in 1999 and 2000 convened five

focus groups of leaders from: national

organizations, local Head Start Programs

including parents of past and currently

enrolled children; Head Start Quality

Improvement Centers; accreditation

organizations and higher education

institutions to discuss the needs, issues,

and existing models of Head Start

Worker staff training.

Among the issues and needs

identified by focus group participants

were the following:

• Input to the development of

‘‘Competency Goals and Indicators for

Head Start Staff Working with Families’’

attached in Appendix B, page 27. These

competencies are being communicated

to Head Start agencies to assist local

efforts in selecting, training, and

supervising Family Workers and will

provide a common framework for

competency-based training models

solicited via this announcement;

• Key characteristics of models for

delivery of training in these

competencies and approaches to link

competency-based training to higher

education coursework and degrees;

• The importance and challenges of

creating competency-based training that

is responsive to highly diverse adult

learners, such as Family Workers in

Head Start and child care programs with

little recent experience as students, who

frequently continue to work while

pursuing a degree, and who may require

special academic and social supports to

successfully meet standards in general

education and early childhood courses,

and

• Recognition that with over twentynine percent of Head Start staff

members being parents of former or

current Head Start children that there is

a necessity to ensure that any

competency-based training program/

curriculum for Family Workers is

appropriate for, open to, and welcomes

the parents of Head Start children so

that they can attain the necessary

competencies.

Expectations and Requirements for

Family Worker Training and

Credentialing Projects

Section 649 the Head Start Act

authorizes grants for research,

demonstration and collaboration

activities. These grants will involve

extensive investigation into areas where

knowledge is currently insufficient and

will be awarded pursuant to Section

649.

Based on the above legislative

mandates, focus group input, and

additional planning, the Head Start

Bureau is issuing this grants

announcement to support the

development and/or adaptation of a

variety of models of competency-based,

credit-bearing training for Family

Workers in Head Start and early

childhood and family support programs.

The central requirements for all projects

are as follows:

• Develop competency-based training

programs and curricula relevant to the

work of a Head Start Family Worker

based on the Head Start Program

Performance Standards; the Competency

Goals and Indicators for Head Start Staff

Working with Families, attached in

Appendix B; and include a credible

approach to assessing the attainment of

these competencies by individual

trainees;

• Create or adapt competency-based

training that is linked to academic credit

and degree programs and to other forms

of credentialing for Family Workers.

Applicants are urged to present plans

for training which provide for

articulation to AA, BA, MS degree

programs if the trainee decides to

continue his/her education, and

portability, should trainees desire to be

Family Workers in other related

programs;

• Develop training and curricula that

is accessible and affordable for adult

learners and that accommodates the

training needs of current Head Start

Family Workers, including former Head

Start Parents who are likely to continue

to work full time as they continue to

22290 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices

participate in training towards a Family

Worker credential; and

• Create state-of-the-art training and

assessment strategies that will

ultimately enhance the quality of

program services and outcomes for the

increasing diversity of low-income

families served by Head Start and early

childhood programs and agencies.

The Bureau is soliciting applications

to develop and/or adapt competencybased training curricula and programs

appropriate to the fulfillment of

educational and professional growth

needs of Family Worker staff

nationwide, including all geographic

regions as well as for staff serving

Migrant and Indian families and

communities. For purposes of this

announcement ‘‘development’’ means

the creation and design of a totally new

competency-based, credit-based,

training program. ‘‘Adaptation’’ means

the proposed utilization of ‘‘as is’’ or

slightly modified appropriate creditbearing competency-based training

program coursework and materials,

delivery modalities, scheduling and cost

factors, etc.

Innovative, realistic, forward-looking,

and trainee accessible model training

program designs are necessary in order

to facilitate and advance the Head Start

Family Worker Training Initiative.

Applicants may propose developmental

work such as re-shaping course

materials, curriculum and teaching

strategies; adapting mentoring,

advisement, reflective practice, and

practicum strategies, using distance

learning and other forms of technology

in new ways, alternate means to

improve access, reduce costs, and

increase the successful completion of

the training sequence and

demonstration of competencies by

candidates; and new efforts and

methods to link competency-based

training and curriculum to academic

credit, higher education degree

programs and related credentialing

systems for Family Workers. Applicants

are strongly encouraged to involve

Family Workers, managers, program

directors from Head Start and other

community-based programs and training

and technical assistance providers in

their grant application planning and

implementation of their projects.

Attachment C provides a Directory of

Head Start Training and Technical

Assistance providers.

Each funded project will be expected

to present a comprehensive

competency-based credit-bearing

training program and curriculum (plus

alternate designs, if any) to the Head

Start Bureau at the end of this grant

project period. All elements of the

training program, including but not

limited to recruitment, entry

requirements, course content, credit

hours, primary and alternate delivery

modalities, time requirements,

implementation plans and schedule,

staffing qualifications, program and

student assessments (including a

method or strategy for the assessment of

the competencies to be acquired by

trainees), program accreditation,

credentialing mechanisms, articulation

plans/processes/agreements, and cost

factors are to be included in this

presentation. At some point in the

future, the Head Start Bureau intends to

require a common set of competencies

and skills for Family Workers. Model

curricula developed under this

Announcement will be used to help

determine the requisite training and

credential attainment for these workers.

Therefore, successful applicants are also

expected to declare their intent to

implement their proposed program after

the end of the grant period, independent

of any additional Federal support, if the

Head Start Bureau determines that their

model is sufficient to meet the training

needs of Head Start Family Workers.

The Bureau in concert with national

experts and practitioners will carry out

a comprehensive review of all final

submissions. The review will include

examination of how proposed programs

will enhance the capacities of trainees

in all of the areas addressed in the Head

Start Program Performance Standards

and sub-areas of the eleven Family

Workers ‘‘Competency Goals and

Indicators’’ as defined in Appendix B.

As a result of this review, the Bureau

will examine the possible establishment

and implementation of a Family Worker

Training Program Resource Data Base

incorporating all training programs

conforming to Head Start’s

requirements. Those providers and

programs included in the Data Base will

be deemed to be responsive and

appropriate for use by local program

Family Worker staff in pursuing courses

of studies and credentialing.

Grantees will be expected to attend a

three-day Orientation Meeting regarding

this Initiative in Washington D.C. to be

held no later than six weeks after grant

award. The Head Start Bureau and a

work group of national consultants on

competency-based training and

credentialing will convene to engage

with grantees regarding programmatic

issues and Bureau expectations for this

initiative. Applicants need to budget for

the three-day Orientation meeting.

objectives. There should be evidence

that the planned approach reflects

sufficient input from collaborating

partners.

The Head Start Bureau is particularly

interested in the following:

1. Describe the applicants’ experience

and capabilities in providing training to

family worker staff from Head Start and

early childhood and family support

programs.

2. Provide a discussion of the major

current and emerging challenges facing

family workers, and the challenges of

delivering competency-based training to

current staff members.

3. Describe the planning and

development process the applicant will

use to develop a final design/model

program and describe how Head Start

and other program family workers,

managers and others will be involved.

4. Discuss how other career

development and higher education

organizations, institutions, and

providers/partners or contributors may

be involved in the planning and design

phase, as well as in ongoing refinement

and improvement of the desired model

for curricula.

5. Propose and defend an initial

overall professional development

strategy for Head Start Family workers

and other related early childhood higher

education programs, including content,

and sequence of development

experience, and ways to encourage

applications of new knowledge,

standards and best practices to the

instruction of participants and their

sponsoring Head Start program. Include

discussion of issues such as the

admission/eligibility requirements,

program scheduling, accessibility, and

location of activities, including explicit

approaches to supporting peer

networking and mentoring of

participants.

6. Provide assurance that training/

courses are offered at the lowest

reasonable justifiable cost to trainees.

7. Indicate initial plans for the

recruitment and selection of faculty or

trainers who would train Family

Workers. Discuss how recruitment and

selection process will attract faculty/

trainers with demonstrated ability to

respond to the growing diversity of the

population of families and children

served in Head Start, Early Head Start

and other early care and education

programs.

Information provided in response to

Part III, Sections E, F and G of this

announcement will be used to evaluate

applicants on this criterion.

Criterion 4. Budget and Budget

Justification: (10 points)

Provide line item detail and detailed

calculations for each budget object class

identified on the Budget Information

form. Detailed calculations must

include estimation methods, quantities,

unit costs, and other similar quantitative

detail sufficient for the calculation to be

duplicated. The detailed budget must

also include a breakout by the funding

sources identified in Block 15 of the SF–

424.

Provide a narrative budget

justification that describes how the

categorical costs are derived. Discuss

the necessity, reasonableness and

allocability of the proposed costs.

B. The Review Process

Applications received by the due date

will be reviewed and scored

competitively. Experts in the field,

generally persons from outside the

Federal government, will use the

evaluation criteria listed in Part IV of

this announcement to review and score

the applications. The results of this

review are a primary factor in making

funding decisions. ACYF may also

solicit comments from ACF Regional

Office staff and other Federal agencies.

The ACYF Commissioner may also

consider a variety of all factors in

funding decisions, including supporting

a set of projects to serve Head Start

programs and Family Workers in all

geographic regions and representative of

approaches to working with different

types of Head Start programs, including

Indian and Migrant grantees.

under the following current valid OMB

control numbers 0348–0043, 0348–0044,

03480–0040, 0348–0046, 0925–0418 and

0970–0139.

and maintaining the data needed and

reviewing the collection of information.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number.

F. Required Notification of the State

Single Point of Contact

This program is covered under

Executive Order 12372,

Intergovernmental Review of Federal

Programs, and 45 CFR part 100,

Intergovernmental Review of

Department of Health and Human

Services Program and Activities. Under

the Order, States may design their own

processes for reviewing and

commenting on proposed Federal

assistance under covered programs.

*All States and Territories except

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado,

Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana,

Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts,

Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New

Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma,

Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,

Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia,

Washington, Wyoming, and Palau have

elected to participate in the Executive

Order process and have established

Single Points of Contact (SPOCs).

Applicants from these twenty-seven

jurisdictions need take no action

regarding E.O. 12372. Applicants for

projects to be administered by

Federally-recognized Indian Tribes are

also exempt from the requirements of

E.O. 12372. Otherwise, applicants

should contact their SPOCs as soon as

possible to alert them of the prospective

applications and receive any necessary

instructions. Applicants must submit

any required material to the SPOCs as

soon as possible so that the program

office can obtain and review SPOC

comments as part of the award process.

It is imperative that the applicant

submit all required materials, if any, to

the SPOC and indicate the date of this

submittal (or the date of contact if no

submittal is required) on the Standard

Form 424, item 16a.

Under 45 CFR 100.8(a)(2), a SPOC has

60 days from the application deadline to

comment on proposed new or

competing continuation awards.

SPOCs are encouraged to eliminate

the submission of routine endorsements

as official recommendations.

Additionally, SPOCs are requested to

clearly differentiate between mere

advisory comments and those Official

State process recommendations, which

may trigger the accommodation or

explain rule.

When comments are submitted

directly to ACF, they should be

addressed to William Wilson, Head

Start Bureau, 330 C Street, SW,

Washington, DC 20447, Attn: Head Start

Family Worker Training and

Credentialing Initiative. A list of Single

Points of Contact for each State and

Territory can be found on the web site:

BILLING CODE 4184–01–C

It is estimated that in 2001 the Federal

Government will outlay $305.6 billion in

grants to State and local governments.

Executive Order 12372, ‘‘Intergovernmental

Review of Federal Programs’’ was issued

with the desire to foster the

intergovernmental partnership and

strengthen federalism by relying on State and

local processes for the coordination and

review of proposed Federal financial

assistance and direct Federal development.

The Order allows each State to designate an

entity to perform this function. Below is the

official list of those entities. For those States

that have a home page for their designated

entity, a direct link has been provided below.

States that are not listed on this page have

chosen not to participate in the

intergovernmental review process, and

therefore do not have a SPOC. If you are

located within one of these States, you may

still send application materials directly to a

Federal awarding agency.

Appendix B—Competency Goals and

Indicators for Head Start Staff Working

With Families

The ‘‘Competency Goals and Indicators for

Head Start Staff Working with Families’’

described on the following pages are

intended to define competencies and skills

for entry-level staff who are working directly

with families under ongoing supervision in

furtherance of their professional

development. Family Workers should be able

to demonstrate their ability to provide

services consistent with the requirements of

the Head Start Program Performance

Standards.

Today’s workers are expected to exhibit a

new level of professionalism to effectively

support today’s families. Increasingly, new

organizational structures and innovative

service models within Head Start require

workers to:

• Develop respectful relationships with

families which evolve into an individualized

family partnering process which addresses

the parent’s role in supporting child

development goals, health and disabilities

goals, as well as traditional social services,

family development, and parent involvement

goals.

• Work in partnership with families and

other community providers to develop family

partnership agreements and to integrate this

process into family plans when appropriate.

• Support families in their efforts to obtain

employment and move towards selfsufficiency.

• Provide a new level of service in the area

of family literacy, reflective of the intent of

the current Head Start Program Performance

Standards.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Notices 22313

Appendix B as follows:

• Reflects the Head Start Program

Performance Standards

• Reflects the latest thinking in the family

support field including strength-based,

family centered principles, and

• Includes new areas of competency in

response to the changing role of family

support staff

Indicators are listed for each area of

competency. These Indicators provide a

mechanism to measure individuals seeking

demonstrable competency in each of the

competency goal areas.
