Training Inventory

For Accredited Child Care Programs

You must submit a complete, accurate Training Inventory to receive a Star Rating. To complete the Training Inventory, you must

provide evidence that confirms:

1. Every Lead Provider / Lead Teacher has completed at least eight hours of training, coaching, consulting or mentoring on implementing curriculum within the last five years.

2. Every Lead Provider / Lead Teacher has completed at least eight hours of training, coaching, consulting or mentoring on authentic child assessment within the last five years.

3. Every Lead Provider / Lead Teacher has a current Individual Membership in Develop.

4. Every Lead Provider / Lead Teacher has ensured accurate employment records by listing his/her current employer on the Employment tab in his/her Individual Membership

profile in Develop.

Definition of Lead Provider / Lead Teacher: The Lead Provider / Lead Teacher is the highest qualified person who works with children at least 50 percent of the program’s operating

hours. Family Child Care programs must identify one lead provider. Child Care Centers must identify one lead teacher per classroom. Submit training evidence for only the Lead Provider

/ Lead Teacher. Do not include other staff on the Training Inventory.

Parent Aware Training Rules:

The Learning Record is the source the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) uses to verify training for Parent Aware Ratings.

DHS has access to electronic versions of all Learning Records; you do not need to submit copies of Learning Records.

1. All training must have been completed five years prior to the date you signed the Parent Aware Participation Agreement. The dates when actual college coursework was

completed will be used, not the date of graduation.

2. Official, unopened college transcripts must be submitted to MNCPD. College coursework must appear on a Learning Record.

3. Training must appear on the Learning Record as MNCPD approved, or as “Other Training” if it is provided by an approved training organization (Head Start programs, the

Minnesota Department of Education, the Minnesota Department of Health, school districts, and publishers of an approved curriculum or assessment tool). These trainings will

be accepted for Parent Aware when they appear on the individual’s Learning Record. If the training does appear in the “Other Training” section of the Learning Record, you must

identify the approved training organization in the chart included in this form.

4. To receive credit for qualifying coaching, consulting, and mentoring, you must submit a completed Verifying and Documenting Coaching, Consulting, and Mentoring in Parent

Aware form for each session or set of sessions labeled with the training Indicator you are trying to meet.
