Abstract: The Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE), Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is proposing to collect data for a new round of the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES). FACES 2014–2018 features a new "Core Plus" study design. Through this design, FACES will provide data on a set of key indicators more rapidly and with greater frequency than in past rounds of FACES (Core studies), and will allow for studying more complex issues and topics in greater detail and with increased efficiency (Plus studies). The overall design of the FACES 2014–2018 Core and the procedures that are used to select and recruit the sample and conduct data collection are, for the most part, similar to those used in FACES 2009 (OMB number 0970-0151). The proposed FACES design includes multiple components as noted above, and therefore will involve multiple information collection requests. The current information collection request includes data collection activities for FACES 2014–2018 spring 2015 data collection, including selecting classrooms in additional programs; conducting classroom observations; surveying teachers, center directors, and program directors; and interviewing parents and staff for FACES Plus studies. Previous requests approved the FACES 2014–2018 sampling plans for Head Start programs, centers, classrooms, and children, as well as the procedures for recruiting programs and selecting centers in 2014 and contacting them again in 2016 as well as fall 2014 data collection activities, including selecting classrooms and children for the study, conducting child assessments and parent interviews, and obtaining Head Start teacher reports on children's development.
