The purpose of the Culture of
Continuous Learning Project: Case Study information collection is
to document the factors that contribute to the feasibility of
implementing the Breakthrough Series Collaborative (BSC) quality
improvement methodology in Head Start and child care centers. The
OMB-approved information collection includes: (1) implementation
materials (e.g., worksheets); (2) key informant interviews; (3)
focus groups with key staff, teachers, and parents; (4) surveys
with administrators, teachers, staff, and parents; and (5)
classroom observations. As the team prepared for the data
collection, three concerns arose about our initial assumptions when
preparing the request package: 1) whether the proposed token of
appreciation structure would encourage sufficient response rates,
2) whether the amount proposed for tokens of appreciation aligned
with the level of effort requested from participants, and 3)
whether we were collecting sufficient information about teacher’s
and families’ experiences with their child care center.
Additionally, we noted that participants should be informed that
they can decline to respond to any question. We are currently
seeking slight modifications to address these issues and ensure the
data collection is of maximum utility for the government. None of
these modifications increase burden on participants.
