Summer Institute

About the Summer Institutes

The revised Federal Review tool and Reauthorization challenge Head Start programs to provide more comprehensive, in-depth family development and case management services to parents, children, and other family members. Our consortium of University faculty members and experts in family development is once again conducting Summer Institutes to provide intensive training in family development and case management.

H.H.S. is moving toward setting competency goals and indicators for entry-level family workers. (See Information Memorandum IM-HS-01-08.) The Basic Skills Institutes are based on this Information Memorandum. If you complete all four courses that are based on IM-HS-01-08, you earn the Certificate in Family Development from California State University, East Bay. You can attend the Basic Skills Institutes whether you are in the certificate program or not.

In all Institutes, each day, participants use case studies of "typical" Head Start families to practice using new methods. Additionally, we provide case consultation for your own most difficult families.

These Summer Institutes are an exciting, low-cost opportunity to build the knowledge and skills of people in Head Start. You can develop staff capabilities, enhance program design and improve program quality.

There is no "one way" to do family development. The Institutes provide a wide range of social work, family development and case management methods from which to choose, presented by faculty from the San Francisco State University School of Social Work, California State University at East Bay School of Social Work, and the University of California at Berkeley School of Social Welfare and their graduates who now manage programs in children's services, substance abuse, mental health, and other types of programs. You can adopt or adapt their ideas, depending on your local needs. We hope to see you there.
