Establishing Mentorship Programs

Mentoring in Head Start programs offers a number of advantages including training opportunities, career advancement, and the ability to exchange ideas with other master teachers.

Families as Advocates and Leaders

Families participate in leadership development, decision-making, program policy development, or community and state organizing activities to improve children's development and learning experiences.

HRSA Data Warehouse: Interactive Map Tool

Explore Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) health care programs with the HRSA Data Warehouse. Use maps to select and plot health centers, grants, and other agencies' data as separate data layers.

Measuring Relationship Quality

Explore these comprehensive tools that help programs assess relationships, through an insight at the relationships between families and providers, teachers, and family services staff for children birth to 5 years of age. 

Head Start Programs

Head Start programs deliver services to eligible children and families in core areas of early learning, health, and family well-being while engaging parents as partners every step of the way.

 

Introduction to Monitoring

Explore the Office of Head Start approach to monitoring that ensures consistent quality and accountability of Head Start programs across the country, as well as opportunities for continuous improvement. 

Monitoring Review Reports

Monitoring review reports summarize the results of on-site reviews that assess grant recipient compliance with requirements governing Head Start programs.

Code Switching: Why It Matters and How to Respond

One-third of the children in Head Start programs are dual language learners (DLLs) who are learning English while also learning their home language. Virtually all of these children will code switch. In other words, they mix two or more languages in the same sentence while speaking. It is important that teachers, home visitors, and other staff understand what code switching is, the role it plays in language development, and how to respond to it.

Choose and Use Guide for Finding Social-Emotional Programs for Parents

Head Start programs are increasingly involved in efforts to assist adult family members in gaining parenting skills that can both promote positive social-emotional development and prevent challenging behaviors. In recent years, a number of formal parenting curricula have been developed and researched. We have identified five such programs with promising effects.

Screening Dual Language Learners in Head Start Programs: A Guide for Program Leaders

Read this guide that includes a worksheet designed for Early Head Start and Head Start teams. It helps ensure that their screening process provides the best possible results for all children, including dual language learners (DLLs).
