    Extractions: Specific Aims: An appropriate data management system will be identified and utilized to analyze child outcome data in order to provide comprehensible feedback to Head Start teachers and parents. Teachers will be evaluated to determine their success in implementing the planned curriculum, and professional development will help these teachers to improve the quality of their teaching with the goal of benefiting the children in their classes. The relationships between child outcome data, data from in-class teacher evaluations, and data portraying the effectiveness of professional development will explain and improve a program’s capability to offer a high-quality learning environment for Head Start preschoolers. Specific Aims: CAM educators and docents, Arlitt teachers, and preschool caregivers will acquire and/or demonstrate the skills that will help to involve children between the ages of three and five in art learning while supporting their social and cognitive development through the utilization of CAM resources. The completed curriculum units will provide preschool educators with strategies for combining literacy and language objectives with the acquirement of skills in the visual arts. After the conclusion of the grant period, the developed curriculum materials will be used at the CAM during professional development programs for preschool educators, and will be distributed to approximately 180 preschools in the Greater Cincinnati area.

    Extractions: The Head Start program originated as part of a comprehensive effort to combat poverty in America by providing children ages three to five years old with a range of services. Head Start approaches the needs of the whole child and the family by providing health, education, social services, and parent-community involvement in one program. Most Head Start programs serve children ages three to five years, but the program also supports Early Start for infants and toddlers, Parent/Child Centers, and programs that help children make the transition to elementary school. Despite its growth, current funding for Head Start can assist only half of the eligible young children. Recent amendments to the Head Start law include services to babies and toddlers. General Questions and Answers What are the components of a Head Start program?

    Extractions: Action Center State Legislature Toolbox for Advocates Governmental and Related Links HOUSE AND SENATE COMMITTEES MOVE HEAD START BILLS NEXT STEPS: Now the House and Senate bills will move to the floor for debate and a vote. Both the House and Senate have expressed their desire to debate the bills on the floor before the August Congressional recess. There is no scheduled date for the House or the Senate to take up the bill at this time. NAEYC and other organizations working together on the reauthorization will continue to be working with House and Senate members to improve and strengthen the provisions in the respective bills before they go to the floor. Below are some of the major changes to the current law in the House and Senate bills: Teacher Qualifications: House bill requires 50% of Head Start teachers nationally to have a Bachelor's degree in early childhood or a related field by 2010. In contrast, the Senate bill requires 50% of teachers in each Head Start center to have a Bachelor's degree by 2011; however, if the state's prekindergarten program requires teachers to have a Bachelor's and teacher certification or other credentials higher than a Bachelor's degree, then all of the teachers in each Head Start center must meet those standards by 2011. Although the Senate bill increases the quality set aside, that provision also depends on the overall Head Start funding increase. While there is widespread support for increasing the teacher qualifications, there is great concern that there are no additional funds targeted in either bill for scholarships, release time, substitute teachers, or higher compensation to meet this mandate.
