Region VII Management Acceleration Program (MAP)

The Region VII Management Acceleration Program (MAP) is an expansive training program that provides New Directors and Managers (in their current position two years or less) a solid foundation of Head Start principles and management practices. MAP is designed using a multi-tiered training approach with a new class forming each year with a four day intensive on-site training. Additional trainings , spanning a two year timeframe build on the initial four day kick-off event. Participants begin a professional development journey that takes them through a continuum of learning of all Head Start key areas required for improved success at the grantee level. Participants also gain experience in the area of direct application. Program Governance, Fiscal Management, Internal Monitoring Systems and Risk Management, as well as areas of the Head Start Performance Standards are fully integrated into the training content. The four-day training is held in the greater Kansas City, MO area with other trainings being offered using various delivery methods. 100 clock hours are required for R7 MAP certification.

Region VII Management Acceleration Program (MAP) was developed through a partnership of: Region VII Administration for Children and Families, Region VII TA System (ICF International), Region VII Head Start Association.
