Portage Project's Family Service Credential
FAMILY CENTERED
RELATIONSHIP BASED
STRENGTHS BASED
ECOLOGICAL
REFLECTIVE
The Family Service Credential is a comprehensive, competency and credit based training experience, designed to support direct service staff in their work with children and families. The content is structured into four modules and designed to support staff in the refinement of skills and strategies to incorporate the core values of being family centered, relationship focused, strengths based, ecological and reflective. The training content corresponds to the Head Start Performance Standards, and the Focus Group Recommendations of September 1999 for Federal Competency Goals and Indicators for Head Start Staff working with families.
