Description: The Head Start

social emotional program enhancements
within Head Start settings serving threeand four-year old children. This project
focuses on identifying the central
features of effective programs to provide
the information federal policy makers
Data collection for both the impact and
implementation studies occurred during
the Head Start Year. The study sample
involved 17 Head Start grantees/
delegate agencies, 104 centers, 307
classrooms, 1,042 selected 3-year old
children and 2,885 selected 4-year old
children.
The purpose of this request is to
obtain an extension to finish impact
data collection in the 2012 Follow-up
Year (e.g., Kindergarten for the 4-year
olds). This data to assess impacts of the
program models in the kindergarten
year will be collected through teacher
reports (surveys) and parent surveys.
Respondents: The respondents for the
activities under the extension request
for Follow-Up year data collection will
be parents of children and kindergarten
teachers of children in the study.
The annual burden estimates for both
surveys covered by the extension are
detailed below.
and Head Start providers will need if
they are to increase Head Start’s
capacity to improve the social and
emotional skills and school readiness of
preschool age children. The project is
sponsored by the Office of Planning,
Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) of the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF). The Head Start CARES
project uses a group-based randomized
design to test the effects of three
different evidence-based programs
designed to improve the social and
emotional development of children in
Head Start classrooms.
Data to assess impacts of the program
models in preschool was collected
through surveys with teachers and
parents, as well as direct child
assessments. Data to assess
implementation of the program models
in preschool was collected through
surveys and interviews with teachers,
local coaches, trainers and center staff.

The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Developmental
Disabilities (ADD) has modified the
application requirements for awards
made to P&As under HAVA, Public Law
107–252. Under the program, formula
grants are allotted to States based on
population, financial need, and need for
service. P&As provide services to
individuals with developmental
disabilities based on the identification
of goals in the areas of emphasis listed
in the DD Act and based on public
input.
Section 291 of HAVA does not outline
specific application requirements for
P&As. Therefore, ADD has the
discretion to alter the process by which
P&As are notified of their annual
allocations. Accordingly, P&As will no
longer be required to submit an
application; and, an annual Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will
no longer be published. Instead, ADD
will now rely solely on the official
notification provided to P&As by ACF’s
Division of Mandatory Grants. This
notice informs P&As of the availability
of their annual award allocations.
