Appendix G—Document Review Abstraction Template

Note: The data abstraction template will be used to glean information from multiple sources. We will conduct content analyses to identify structural characteristics and distinguish approaches to policies, professional supports, and practices related to HS2K transitions (i.e., three of the 4Ps) across Head Start grantees and LEAs and triangulate this information with information from the qualitative data analyses. The summary table will be used comparatively to identify similarities and contrasts related to organization structure, staffing, coordination and collaboration agreements between Head Start and Local Education Agencies, and HS2K transition activities and information for families.
