How Head Start grantees set and use school readiness goals: Final report [Executive summary]

Description:

The goal of the two-year School Readiness Goals and Head Start Program Functioning study was to improve understanding of how local Head Start and Early Head Start grantees define, measure, and communicate school readiness goals; how they collect and analyze data to track progress toward goals; and how they use these data in program planning and practice to improve program functioning. Study results are expected to inform ongoing training and technical assistance (T/TA) efforts on effectively using school readiness goals to improve program quality. (author abstract)
