Professional Development Options

---

Even Start partnerships open up additional opportunities for professional development. Every program and every community is different. Programs are encouraged to actively seek out professional development that is of high quality and relevant to them. Possible sources include:

• Children’s museums
• Early Childhood Intervention
• Head Start
• Local education agencies
• Adult education cooperatives
• The Texas Family Literacy Resource Center
• Texas LEARNS
• Other Even Start programs and
• Education Service Centers.

The data gathered in the program’s quarterly and annual reports, along with recommendations from the independent evaluator and the advisory committee should direct the professional development plan. Professional should be a part of any program improvement plan when addressing compliance issues for any of the four components of Even Start.
