Activity; Comment Request 

Title: Evaluation of Head Start Early 

Learning Mentor Coach Initiative. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Billing Accounting Code (BAC): 

418422 (CAN G994426). 

Description: The Administration for 

Children and Families is requesting 

comments on plans to collect 

information as part of an 

implementation evaluation of the Head 

Start Early Learning Mentor-Coach 

Initiative. The study will collect 

information necessary for understanding 

the methods and approaches being used 

by Head Start grantees who were 

awarded funds under the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 

2009—Early Learning Mentor Coach 

funding announcement (Funding 

Opportunity Number HHS–201–ACF– 

OHS–ST–0120) 

The study will describe the range of 

approaches being used by the grantees, 

including descriptions of the role of the 

mentor coach within the grantee agency; 

the types of teachers and caregivers with 

whom the mentor coaches are working; 

the quality, frequency and content of 

interactions between the mentor 

coaches and teachers and caregivers; 

and the types of approaches and 

resources used by the mentor coaches. 

The study will also examine the 

characteristics of the settings and the 

systems in which the mentor coaching 

is embedded. Finally the study will 

examine the degree to which the 

approach used by grantees and mentor 

coaches and the fit between the two— 

relate to factors likely to affect the 

success of the mentor coach’s efforts, 

such as the quality of relationships with 

teachers and caregivers or changes in 

teacher or caregiver approaches and 

attitudes about caring for young 

children over time. 

The data collection will include a 

survey of the grantees, telephone 

interviews with mentor coaches and 

teachers, and the collection of monthly 

tracking data indicating the frequency 

and content of mentors’ contact with 

each teacher. 

Respondents: Individuals or 

Households, Grantees.
