About the Basic Skills Summer Institutes
Our group of University
faculty members and experts in family development are once again conducting
Summer Institutes to provide intensive training in family development and
case management.The focus is
on community and family partnerships. The
Head Start Management Institute
assumes you are beyond entry-level and will focus on more advanced topics
including mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, and crisis
intervention. It will run once, from July 25 through July 27, 2012 at the
Holiday Inn, Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco.
In
IM-HS-01-08, H.H.S. announced new competency goals and indicators for staff
working with families.
Our
Basic Skills Institutes 1 and 2
use these 9 competency goals and 42 indicators as a curriculum framework.
There are two institutes here, each focuses on half of the goals and
indicators. You can see which goals/indicators are in Basic Skills
1 and Basic Skills 2
by scrolling down or by asking us to FAX you the outlines of the two
courses. Both of these Institutes will run once, from June 19-22, 2012. If you
complete these two classroom courses (3 credits each) and the two homework
courses (also 3 credits each), you can get the Certificate in Family
Development from California
StateUniversity at EastBay
(12 credits total). However, you do not have to be enrolled in the
Certificate Program to take one of the courses.
In both the
Basic Skills Institutes, each day the participants use case studies of
“typical” Head Start families to practice using the methods presented.
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 and improve program quality. Put this into your T&TA
plan.

THE CENTER FOR
COMMUNITY FUTURES CONDUCTS BOTH SUMMER INSTITUTES -- Basic Skills 1 and
Basic Skills 2 – each year.
You may take either Basic Skills 1 or Basic Skills 2 first.
We have simply divided
the topics in IM-01-08 into two groups.It does not make any difference which one you take first.
Both of these Institutes run once every Summer. If you complete
these two classroom courses (3 credits each) and the two homework courses
(also 3 credits each), you can get the Certificate in Family Development
from California State University at East Bay (12 credits total). However,
you do not have to be enrolled in the Certificate Program to take one of the
courses.
In both the Basic Skills Institutes, each day the participants use case
studies of “typical” Head Start families to practice using the methods
presented. 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 and improve program quality.
Put this into your T&TA plan.
All Summer Institute Participants Get: College Credit for Basic Skills:
For an additional $267,
you may earn three (3) college credits issued by California State University
East Bay. Please bring a check for $267 payable to CSUEB or to the Center
for Community Futures or pay for it in advance through the regular
registration process.
Here are the absolute final dates
by which three items must be in our hands for a student to get credit during
the quarter listed.

substitutions by telephone. (We will confirm the substitution in writing and
send the new person an information packet.)There is no “one way” to do family development. The Institutes provide a

from which you can choose. The presenters are from Head Start programs, and
faculty from the U.C. Berkeley School of Social Welfare, Cal State
University East Bay, and San Francisco State University and their MSW
