This methodology for this collection is approved along with the Spring 1997 instruments as amended by ACF's revisions of 3/28/97 and on the folowing conditions as agreed to by ACF. ACF will conduct a field test prior to initiating the full-scale implementation of this study. The field test will begin in the Spring of 1997. The initial instruments for that portion of the field test are cleared at this time. The additional instruments to be included as part of the field test will be resubmitted along with the instruments for the full-scale study. ACF also agrees that the full-scale implementation will begin in the Fall of 1997 with two cohorts -- one of three-year-olds in their first year of Head Start, and one of four-year-olds in their first or second year of Head Start. ACF agrees that both cohorts will be followed through the end of their Kindergarten year and the data will be used as part of the performance measures for the program. ACF also agrees that we will have further discussions regarding an extension of this study to follow Head Start children through the third grade in order to maximize the utility of the data. Under such an approach, ACF will work with the National Center for Education Statistics to determine the most appropriate way to coordinate the instruments with those used in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS).
