Abstract:
In January 2020, the Head Starts Connect Project received approval under this OMB number to complete case studies that examined how Head Start programs coordinate family support services. Six Head Start programs participated, along with 30 Head Start staff members, 18 parents/guardians, and 7 community service providers. Qualitative coding has been completed, and a final report is expected to be published in 2022. The information collections proposed for the last phase of the Head Start Connects project include: surveys of Head Start directors, family and community partnerships managers, and family support services staff members; and focus groups of Head Start family support services staff members. The purposes of the additional information collection are to build knowledge about how Head Start programs (grantee organizations and/or delegate agencies that provide direct services through center-based Head Start, Early Head Start, AI/AN Early Head Start, AI/AN Head Start, Migrant & Seasonal Early Head Start, and Migrant & Seasonal Head Start programs) coordinate family support services for parents/guardians; the characteristics of Head Start programs and staff members involved in family support services coordination; the job characteristics, work activities, and well-being of Head Start family support services staff members; and how Head Start programs can improve coordination of family support services.
