To facilitate program replication, this document comprehensively describes the University Consortium's (UC) Child Development Associate (CDA) resource model for Head Start training in Texas. Additionally, the discussion serves as a guide to the total UC-CDA modeling process for all Head Start grantees and associated institutions. Seven chapters respectively (1) explain the structure and function of UC; (2) describe the resource model; (3) list and describe CDA training criteria to which training sponsored by the UC-CDA resource model should conform; (4) discuss steps in the UC-CDA resource model process; (5) specify staffing requirements of the model; (6) discuss the assessment of CDA interns; and (7) describe the Texas certificate of training and outline the UC certificate assessment process. Appended are the following items: a directory of Texas Head Start programs, a map and a list of UC-CDA cooperating institutions of higher education, a list of competency standards designed for use by local assessment teams, a summary of long-term regulations for the introduction of CDA's into Head Start, excerpts from the handbook for Head Start career development committees, a CDA trainee booklet, sample observation forms and field supervision discussion sheets, a draft bibliography of CDA training materials, a chart of CDA competencies and their equivalent Head Start performance standards, guidelines for the parent/community representative, and various additional forms.
