This booklet is a collection of five articles from the Child Development Associate Program (CDA) in Texas, part of a nationwide program for training child care workers. "Skills Needed by a CDA Training Counselor" outlines three skills: facilitation of learning, interpersonal skills, and management. "Some Findings and Recommendations from the Texas CDA Projects" discusses aspects of administration and training, including program goals, staffing, coordination, recruitment and selection of trainees, design of training, and field sites. "Field Site Supervision" lists methods and goals for field site supervisors. "Resource Rooms" offers suggestions on how to set up and use a central room for staff and trainees. The largest part of the document, "An Excerpt from The CDA Program: The Child Development Associate - A Guide for Training", published by U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, is taken from a guidebook designed for use in training staff for Head Start, day care, nursery schools and other preschool programs.
