- Summary:
-
On the basis of interviews with mothers and baby-sitters of children enrolled in the Early Learning Programs of the Pennsylvania Research in Infant Development and Education Project in the West Chester, Pennsylvania, area, 12 low-income labor force nonparticipants identified as potential entrants into the job market were chosen to participate in an experimental individualized vocational training program for child care services. Funded under Part C of the Vocational Education Act of 1969, this innovative in-home program was intended for unskilled, socioeconomically disadvantaged adults unable to participate in formal, centrally located training programs. Of the 25 lessons originally planned, the 12 initial lessons are presented in this report, including learning activities, resource lists, behavioral objectives, and content outlines. Positive feedback from program participants, an appended program evaluation performed by an independent researcher by means of interviews using a survey instrument, and a comparison of participant scores with scores achieved by those in a state manpower training program revealed the program's success. A detailed program rationale precedes the 12 lessons and a discussion of the program's results. (AG)
