Summary of Information Collection
The DoDEA Sure Start program is an
educational program for preschoolers
who are ‘‘at risk’’ for later school failure
because of economic circumstance or
other health and/or family factors.
Because this program is expensive to
replicate, it is reserved for those
children and families who will most
benefit from participation in the
program. As specified in the internal
document, ‘‘Sure Start Program Guide
2007–2008 Department of Defense
Education Activity,’’ DoDEA Sure Start
staff is required to assess the quality of
the program as a whole. One component
of this program assessment is the
completion of a parent questionnaire,
which when combined with additional
data elements, will be used to develop
the annual progress plan. The Sure Start
Parent Questionnaire measures the
satisfaction level of parents/sponsors of
students enrolled in DoDEA Sure Start
programs. This questionnaire will be
handed out during mid-year parent
meetings and again at the end of the
year as part of the on-going program
evaluation. Individual schools are
charged with administering the
questionnaire to the parents of students
in the Sure Start program. If a student
withdraws prior to the end of the school
year, the family will be given the
questionnaire. Responses will be tallied
by each school and forwarded to the
Early Childhood specialist in each area
(DDESS, Europe, and the Pacific).
Individual schools, in coordination with
the area office and DoDEA
Headquarters, will use these data to
ensure that the Sure Start program is
being implemented as required and to
make continual program improvements.
In addition to being informed in writing,
all eligible respondents will be verbally
informed that their participation is
voluntary and no benefit/punishment is
attached to a response or non-response.
