Family Development Credential w/Enhancement
The Family Development Credential is a nationally recognized credential for frontline family workers and leaders. It is built on the Empowerment Skills for Family Workers curriculum, originally developed at Cornell University with input from families, frontline workers, program supervisors, and policy makers who attended focus groups, reviewed drafts, and participated in pilot tests.
For Head Start programs, the FDC is more than a professional development opportunity. It is a requirement that directly strengthens the family partnership process at the heart of the Head Start model.
What the FDC achieves:
For families - services become more focused on helping them identify their strengths, set their own goals, and reach them in the most meaningful ways that shift from being transactional to transformational.
For frontline workers - the FDC builds the skills and competencies needed to work effectively with families.
