Description:
This report is part of a larger effort to design a study to evaluate the effect of individual coaching components in Head Start programs. The design project is guided by the following research question: What is the effect of individual coaching components on teachers and children in the Head Start context? The goal is to design an evaluation that will help Head Start programs, and other early childhood programs, implement stronger coaching interventions by providing them with reliable evidence on the effect of coaching components that they can use to decide which components to implement, given their local needs and budgetary constraints. The purpose of this present report is to review different experimental designs that could be used to estimate the effect of individual components within a social intervention, such as Head Start coaching.
