Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Culture of Continuous Learning
Project: A Breakthrough Series
Collaborative for Improving Child Care
and Head Start Quality.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE) in the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) is proposing an
information collection activity for the
Culture of Continuous Learning Project.
The goal of the project is to assess the
feasibility of implementing continuous
quality improvement methods in early
care and education programs to support
the use and sustainability of evidencebased practices. A Breakthrough Series
Collaborative (BSC), a specific model
designed to support learning and
improvement among practitioners at all
levels of an organization, will be
implemented in Head Start and child
care settings. The BSC methodology has
not been tested rigorously in early care
and education programs, but has been
studied in health care and other fields.
The findings will be of broad interest to
child care early education programs as
well as training and technical assistance
providers and researchers, all of whom
are interested in improving the quality
of services young children receive.
Head Start and child care programs
that voluntarily participate in the BSC
will be asked to complete a number of
implementation tools as part of the BSC
activities. Data collection for the
feasibility study will involve focus
groups, online surveys, direct
observation, and document review.
Respondents: Up to 18 early
childhood centers will be invited to
express interest in participating in the
BSC. Up to 8 centers will be selected to
participate in the BSC and feasibility
study. Core BSC Teams consisting of up
to 6 individuals (e.g., directors, lead
teachers, assistant teachers, teacher
aides, parents, curriculum specialists,
etc.) each from four Early Head Start or
Head Start programs and four child care
programs in a selected geographic
location (for a total of 48 individuals);
and up to 24 additional teachers or
program staff at the same centers who
are not part of the Core BSC Team.
