Abstract:
The purpose of the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) data collection is to support the 2007 reauthorization of the Head Start program (P.L. 110–134), which calls for periodic assessments of Head Start’s quality and effectiveness. This request is for an additional fall 2021 wave of data collection of the FACES 2019 and American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) FACES 2019 studies that was not originally planned, but will be conducted to learn how Head Start families and staff are faring in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection activities added for this fall 2021 wave include a parent survey, a teacher survey, and teacher reports of children. We do not intend to use this information as the principal basis for public policy decisions.
