Head Start FACES 2000: A Whole-Child Perspective on Program Performance
 
Abstract

Children entering Head Start are at a great disadvantage to other children, as evidenced by the children’s initial scores on standardized assessments of cognitive skills. Program administrators, educators, and researchers can access findings from the Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) that confirm that the gap between Head Start children and the general population of school-age children narrows during the Head Start year on key components of school readiness.


Head Start FACES 2000: A Whole-Child Perspective on Program Performance

In 1997, Head Start launched the Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES), a study of a national random sample of Head Start programs designed to answer critical questions about child outcomes and program quality. In 2000, FACES began data collection on a new national cohort—FACES 2000—and plans are underway for a third cohort. Now, longitudinal data on successive, scientifically representative samples of children, families, teachers, classrooms, and programs are available. More>>
