Assistant Child Care Teacher Certification: A Program Planning Guide
No. 4050, 2003, 190 pp., $36
Child care is essential to the work force.
With so many parents working outside the home and needing child
care for their children, well-trained child care workers are
needed.
In order to address this need, a high school
course was implemented in 1988 that meets the requirements of
the Department of Health and Family Services (DHFS) to license
assistant child care teachers to work in day-care facilities.
During the past year a task force worked to update the teacher's
guide to implement this program at the secondary level. This
new guide, Assistant Child Care Teacher Certification: A Program
Planning Guide, has the most current requirements of the
Assistant Child Care License and has the competencies matched
with the Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Family and
Consumer Education. The competencies identified by the Wisconsin
Technical College System in its state approved course also are
matched to the units in the new certification publication.
This guide replaces its predecessor, Assistant
Child Care-A Teacher's Guide, but the steps in the process of
certification as an Assistant Child Care Teacher remain the same.
Students must take a course in Child Development and enroll in
the semester course for Assistant Child Care Teacher (ACCT).
This course is taught by a Family and Consumer Education teacher
who has a 211 license. After meeting the requirements for the
ACCT certification, students may enroll in the State Skill Co-op
Child Care Services. Wisconsin's Skill Standards for Child Services
is a Department of Public Instruction curriculum guide available
for this Co-op which certifies students as a child care teacher.
