The document summarizes the upcoming changes to the Child Development Associate (CDA) credentialing process called "CDA 2.0" which will go into effect on June 1, 2013. It outlines the key differences between the current and new processes, including requiring candidates to complete a professional portfolio, philosophy statement, and reflective statements. It also introduces requiring candidates to take the CDA exam at PearsonVUE testing centers and be observed and assessed using a new verification visit model and scoring instrument. The transition plan allows candidates who apply before May 31, 2013 to follow the current process, while those applying June 1, 2013 or later must follow the new CDA 2.0 process.

Did you know there are 54,000 registered voters in Lowell? In the 2012 presidential election, 34,000 of them voted. In the past two city elections, far fewer participated – 11,500 in 2013 and just 10,000 in 2011.
We believe that if more people were to vote in local elections, the city of Lowell and all here would benefit. To help make that happen, join with other Lowellians in a nonpartisan, grass roots effort to increase participation in the next city election, especially in neighborhoods with historically low turnout and among groups that have faced barriers to voting.

Micro-credentialing Workshop: A view from the Australian higher education sectorCharles Darwin University
The Australian sector is now starting to see a few good examples of micro-credentialing in action. When done well this is a really complex thing and not something that should be undertaken lightly, or to be seen as a quick win by institutions. There are issues of alignment, design, validity, portability, transparency, authenticity and many more that need to be considered in developing an institutional approach to this. This involves many systems working/talking together across the institution (not the least of which is the LMS), and potentially the introduction of newer/contemporary ways of thinking about learning and teaching.
This workshop will initially summarise some of the current practice being seen in the sector and share some emerging models. Not only will participants develop a greater awareness of the current trends, but more importantly, they will develop for themselves, and potentially for their institution, a suite of models/options that could be applied in their own unique context.

3. What is “CDA 2.0 ”?
• The term “CDA 2.0” is the Council’s way of letting the early
childhood community know that the CDA credentialing
system is about to be updated, on June 1, 2013,
streamlining the process and making it
even more valuable as a professional
development experience for Candidates.
• Once the new system goes into effect,
we will stop using the term “2.0” because,
at that point, it will be the one and only Child Development
Associate (CDA) National Credentialing Program™.
4. Candidate Assessment
• The credentialing system is built upon the the
CDA Competency Goals and Functional Areas
• Every Candidate will be required to:
– collect evidence of competence into the Professional
Portfolio
– compose a Professional Philosophy Statement and six
Reflective Statements of Competence
– be observed working with young children
– participate in a reflective dialogue
– take the CDA Exam
5. Candidate’s knowledge and competencies will
be determined using two factors:
Both the CDA Exam and Verification Visit Comprehensive Scoring
Instrument were designed using the CDA Competency Goals and
Functional Areas, which will remain unchanged.
6. The R. O. R. Model ™
Components of the Verification Visit that will contribute
to the assessment of Candidate competency
7. Credentialing Determination
Upon completion of the Exam, the Candidate’s scores in each of the 13 CDA Functional
Areas will be immediately transmitted to the Council.
Based on their findings from the Verification Visit, the PD Specialist will submit their
Recommended Scores to the Council online.
The Council will then combine the two sets of scores into a final Cumulative
Score which will determine Candidate credentialing. Awarded or denied,
the Candidate will also receive feedback on their strengths and areas of
growth in each of the CDA Functional Areas.

Credentialing process. The Candidate will be assigned a Council
Representative who will conduct the Verification Visit, even if that
Visit takes place after June 1. All applications using the current CDA
Credentialing process, that therefore include Verification Visits by
Council Reps, will be completed by August 31, 2013.
• Any Candidate whose application is received by the Council with a
postmark date on or after June 1, 2013 will use the “CDA 2.0”
Credentialing process . The Candidate will need to choose a CDA
Professional Development Specialist to conduct the Verification
Visit and will need to take the CDA Exam at a local
PearsonVUE testing center.
