J – 019 If a program employs as a teacher assistant a Head Start parent with a CDA, can they promote that person to the position of teacher?
Currently, there is nothing in the Head Start statute that would preclude a program from hiring an individual who has only a CDA credential (i.e. no ECE degree) as a teacher. Should Head Start requirements change in terms of teacher qualifications, that teacher, as, of course, all other teachers would have to meet those new requirements.
