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

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.
