This manual outlines the process for evaluating a series of instructional materials for college-based training of the Child Development Associate (CDA) in Texas. Chapter I offers a discussion of the need for child care worker training in Texas and provides background information on the development of both the national and the Texas CDA pilot training programs. In Chapter 2, the issue of evaluation is discussed: why it is necessary, what and who is involved, how it is to be done, and what benefits are derived from it. The operational procedures of the evaluation process for Texas CDA pilot training materials are outlined in Chapter 3. Appendices include instructions to the trainee on personal portfolio preparation and questionnaire forms for trainees and trainers to evaluate the programs and modules. Charts are used throughout the manual as illustration for the text. (ED)
