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 prepares for the data
collection, they have identified several proposed updates to
improve the effort. These include: 1. Modifying the consent
language for instruments associated with data archiving to also
include language about the project’s recently approved National
Institute of Health (NIH) Certificate of Confidentiality 2.
Eliminating the observations instrument (Instrument 18) and
updating the estimated respondent burden table accordingly. 3.
Adding 7 questions to the pre-post survey as an alternative to
observations (Instrument 17b) 4. Eliminating questions, rearranging
text, and adding survey directions and one question to the BSC
Application Questionnaire (Instrument 1). See the nonsubstantive
change memo for details about changes.
