Abstract:
The current request is to field test refined instruments based on measures developed in previous phases of the study. This ICR will allow ACF to (1) validate key program implementation measures or further improve their psychometric properties using classroom observations, and (2) test preliminary associations between implementation, cost, and quality measures. The proposed collection largely reflects previously-approved study methodology, with three changes: o Some measures have been updated based on results of the previous data collection, o A classroom observation has been added to test the validity of the measures; and o More centers in more states will be targeted for recruitment in order to have a sufficient sample size to further validate the measures.
