Bill overview
The Headway Act modifies the requirements for teachers in Early Head Start programs. Currently, all teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and specific training. This bill changes that requirement to allow at least one teacher per classroom to be working towards earning a CDA credential while providing direct services, with the Early Head Start agency providing a mentor to support their progress. This change aims to increase the availability of qualified Early Head Start educators.
