Abstract: This request is for a one-time national survey of respondents from Early Head Start (EHS) grant recipients regarding practices to ensure that center-based infant and toddler teachers as well as home visitors have sufficient knowledge, training, experience, and competencies to fulfill the roles and duties of their positions. This study is intended to produce nationally representative estimates of EHS grant recipients’ teacher and home visitor recruitment, training, and professional development practices. The survey also aims to identify challenges and promising practices. The information collection is intended to inform the Office of Head Start in their efforts to support EHS grant recipients through program planning and training and technical assistance as well as to inform future research of relevance to the EHS workforce.
