Michigan Day Care Provider Training Project, Year One: An Evaluation.
Kaplan, Melissa G.; And Others
A Title XX funded statewide training program offering 20 hours of instruction for 1,662 licensed center and home child care providers who served Title XX eligible children in Michigan was evaluated at the end of its first year of operation. The first three chapters of this evaluation report discuss (1) the history, philosophy, and goals of the Michigan Day Care Provider Training Project; (2) the evaluation design for measuring trainers' attitudes and expectations, their knowledge and skill, as well as their behavior in the child care setting and the behavior of children in care; and (3) the structure and organization of the evaluation project. The following three chapters describe three aspects of the training process: the population trained, the trainers, and the format, course content and structure of training. Outcomes of training are reported in the concluding chapters. Trainers' perceptions regarding strengths and barriers of the program, plus their satisfaction and session evaluations are indicated, and trainees' perceptions of training, their child care attitudes and knowledge, as well as observations of nine trainees' caregiving behaviors are reported. Unanticipated outcomes are discussed. The final chapter provides a summary of evaluation findings and resulting recommendations. Evaluation instruments, background project data, and project enrollment maps are appended. (Author/RH)
