The survey enables the HSSCO to better understand the needs of grantee agencies and is the driving force behind the HSSCO strategic planning goals and objectives. The survey poses questions regarding the Head Start and Early Head Start program's experience engaging partnerships that are necessary to their success. The questions revolve around the scope of work components of the HSSCO framework which includes regional priority areas. Priority Areas: Child Care; Community Services; Disabilities; Education/School Readiness; Education/Transition; Family Literacy; Health Care; Homelessness; Professional Development and Welfare/Child Welfare. HSSCO Framework, Scope of Work Components: School Transitions; Professional Development; Child Care; and Early Childhood Systems. The Indiana Head Start State Collaboration Office is pleased to present findings our findings.
