What is the Training and Development Consortium? TDC Competency Development Project The TDC is beginning work to draft a set of "competencies" for SEA/LEA project managers. Described by professional literature as "a cluster of related knowledge, attitudes, and skills that affects a major part of one's job, role, or responsibility," comptencies correlate with performance on a job and can be measured against standards. For the TDC, it is important to note that competencies can be improved through training and development. Once developed, competencies would enable SEA/LEA (HIV/CSHP) project managers to: better understand the competencies needed for carrying out project tasks within the agency better understand staff professional development needs select appropriate professional development activities utilize professional development activities for continuous improvement In addition, competencies could be used by: TDC members to collect information on the needs of SEA/LEA staff attending TDC events TDC members to develop and tailor TDC events to meet the developmental needs of SEA/LEA staff attending them CDC project officers to discuss professional development selections and outcomes with SEA/LEA managers Over the coming months, the TDC will engage in a process that will result in the development of draft competencies to be piloted in the Summer/Fall 2001. As part of this process, a 15-member working group, composed of LEA and SEA managers and TDC members, will convene in February. This group will develop a draft document that will be sent to a broader audience for review.

NCSLnet Registration Help Forgotten NCSLnet Password? Child Care Project Child Care Session Summary from Annual Meeting 2002 At the 2002 Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado, NCSL child care project staff organized two sessions. This particular one focused on early childhood research, co-sponsored by NCSL's Assembly on State Issues (ASI) Committee on Children, Families and Health and Assembly on Federal Issues (AFI) Committee on Human Services. Investing in Quality Child Care Measuring Quality Care Kathleen McCartney of the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and Harvard Graduate School of Education talked about ways to determine what constitutes a quality child care program. She discussed structural characteristics (such as a program's child-to-staff ratios, group sizes, and training and education of staff) and process characteristics (teacher sensitivity, child stimulation) as key indicators of quality. She encouraged policymakers to examine specific studies that show the effects of caregiver training and child-to-staff ratios on a variety of outcomes, including a child's readiness for school, language comprehension, behavioral problems and positive social behavior. Effects on Child Outcomes University of Wisconsin researcher Arthur Reynolds, principal investigator of a 17-year longitudinal study of 1,000 children in the high-quality Chicago Parent-Child Centers, spoke about the wide range of long-term child outcomes resulting from early childhood programs. These include school advancement, grade retention, special education, literacy, delinquency and crime, child maltreatment, and receipt of social services. He noted that the study, which includes about 550 children in a control group, is finding that participants have 33 percent fewer juvenile arrests than those in the control group. He emphasized to legislators that these savings occur over 10 to 15 years and can be framed as prevention.
