So i have to get my cda (even thought I have a ton of college), So does anyone know where i can get the cda competency book online? Im willing to pay I just dont want to have to wait for it to ship (and live in a tiny town with NO bookstore!!)

I got the CDA but found it too expensive and time-consuming to keep (they make their money by making you re-do it all over and over again).
To me, it is cheaper and easier on family life to go get the TCC or degree.Last edited by Cat Herder; 05-27-2022, 07:08 AM.Comment

Same for me; My CDA expired in 2020 and I didn't renew. I do have my Associates degree and get tired of renewing all of the SAME stuff required for CDA that is the same I have to renew every year for licensing. Yes; much cheaper!

Do you have the option of a TCC? It only took me 3 months and was well worth it. Oddly enough there was much less paperwork, observation hours and it transfers.Originally posted by flying_babyb View PostLast edited by Cat Herder; 05-31-2022, 06:56 AM.Comment

I just looked at your state's EC Comparison charts. Your state does not require special ed or title 1 to be licensed at all?? That's crazy to me. At least you are still under the dept of human resources and not the board of ed (if home-based), but wow, the hypocrisy of the regs.

Are you taking the role of teacher or director?
You are in WI right? If I am reading the requirements correctly you should be qualified now with the credits you have taken, even without the actual completion of the degree.
I might be reading them wrong as it seems each state's rules try to be as complicated as possible in wording but not in reality.Comment

Cat Herder .... I have zero memory lately so I dunno... lol! -
Same. My memory was a steel trap, now I lose my breakfast plate. 50 sux.
My neighbor swears it levels after the hormones wrap up their tour of duty. We shall see.Last edited by Cat Herder; 06-01-2022, 11:37 AM.

Its not the right state lol! im in Michigan now . They have a program called great start rediness and it requires a cda or a degree. At this point im not sure the extra work is worth it anymore.Originally posted by Cat Herder View PostI just looked at your state's EC Comparison charts.
