Dear Participants, June, 2007
Welcome to the Summer Institutes on Family Development and Case Management for local Head Start programs. We help local Head Start programs build their capacity and improve their quality. We do this by making the latest in social work theory and the most current methods of practice available for review and use by – you!
Head Start family workers, managers and policy makers from all parts of the United States are attending the six sessions of the Summer Institutes. The presentations are informative and thought provoking, and please take advantage of the opportunity to learn from your fellow participants.
We are pleased to offer this Institute as part of the Certificate on Family Development program, which is based on IM-01-08. The certificate is a 12-credit program through the California State University at Hayward (CSUH). IM-01-08 and the complete description of the Certificate program are in the material in front of Tab 1 in the three-ring binder.
This binder has a variety of resource materials. Some are used in the workshops, and others are for possible use back home. I want to thank the following people for their help in creating the Summer Institutes:
· Anne-Therese Ageson, MSW, LCSW, our founding faculty coordinator -- from the U.C. Berkeley School of Social Welfare (now retired).
· Allen Stansbury, who helped create and manage the Institutes. (Al is now on a 3-year nation-building assignment in Romania for the U.S. Agency for International Development.)
· Catharine Ralph, MSW, LCSW, our curriculum consultant from U.C. Berkeley, School of Social Welfare.
· Reymundo Anthony, MSW, the faculty coordinator for the Management Institutes.
· Jenell Thompson, MSW, M. Ed., the faculty coordinator for the Staff and Practitioner Institutes and the Basic Skills for Entry Level Workers.
· Teresa Wickstrom, Senior Associate at the Center for Community Futures. She is our expert on Head Start performance standards and systems.
· Our other faculty members. (We have almost 40 this summer.)
· California State University East Bay, California (CSUEB) for issuing college credits for the Summer Institutes, and for issuing the new Certificate in Family Development based on IM-01-08.
Please share your thoughts and observations about the Summer Institutes by completing the evaluation form. We welcome your comments to help us make improvements to future programs.
Enjoy,
