The Administration for Children and
Families’ FACES study periodically collects nationally
representative information about Head Start programs, their staff,
and the children and families they serve to inform program planning
and technical assistance and enable research. This information
collection request is for planned data collection activities for
FACES program- and classroom-level data collection in spring 2022,
as well as spring 2022 FACES and AIAN FACES data collection
activities to follow up on fall 2021, addressing how families and
staff are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection
activities for both studies include teacher sampling, parent
surveys, teacher–child reports, and staff surveys. FACES includes
classroom observations.
The information collection
request will support an additional spring 2022 wave of data
collection of the FACES 2019 and AIAN FACES 2019 studies under OMB
number 0970-0151.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
