Administration for Children and

Health and Human Services (DHHS) is

requesting comments on plans to amend

the Head Start Family and Child

collection. This study is being

conducted under contract with Westat,

(#105–96–1912) to collect information

on Head Start performance measures.

The current revision is intended to

include 8 additional sites participating

program-university researcher

partnerships, funded under cooperative

agreements with ACYF, will be

conducting evaluations of interventions

designed to enhance the school

readiness of Head Start children in such

areas as literacy and social-emotional

development, through improvements in

curriculum, training, and assessment

practices. This amendment will include

use of subsections of the FACES

instrument battery to obtain information

about classroom quality and child

performance both before and after the

implementation of the interventions.

Data from local sites can then be

compared to the data available from the

FACES national sample.

Respondents: Federal Government,

Individuals or Households, and Not-forprofit institutions.
