The Consumers' Guide to Professional Development Resources was designed to help Early Head Start (EHS) program administrators, supervisors and others responsible for staff development and continuous learning make informed decisions about the purchase and use of professional development resources.

The Consumer's Guide consists of two sections:

Part 1: Creating a Program and Professional Development Plan
Part 1 of the Guide offers a conceptual framework for professional development activities and suggests a set of twelve steps for creating an effective program and professional development plan. The professional development plan covers a range of topics, including: establishing a training committee; determining the capacity and needs of the program; setting priorities; identifying resources; and evaluation.

Part 2: An Annotated Bibliography of Resources
Part 2 of the Guide is an annotated bibliography of multi-media professional development resource materials, including books, curricula, and training systems. The materials are organized under the three main categories of the Performance Standards: Early Childhood Development and Health Services, Family and Community Partnerships, and Program Design and Management. Each annotation includes a brief description, identifies how the resource was designed to be used, and provides cost and ordering information. When possible, recommendations from the field describe how the resource has been effectively used by programs or TA providers.
