TITLE
OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Head Start / Early Head Start
Population Projections Pilot – Follow-Up Survey
PURPOSE: The Program Management and Fiscal Operations (PMFO) provided training on a newly developed population projections tool that is designed to help grantee organizations better anticipate the enrollment needs in their respective jurisdictions and to plan for future HS/EHS enrollment. The Head Start / Early Head Start Population Projections tool is currently in its “pilot” phase and user feedback is important at this stage.
The proposed information collection contains one follow-up survey to gather information from participants in the Head Start / Early Head Start Population Projections training event offered by PMFO. The survey was designed to gauge how, and to what extent, participants are using the newly developed population projections tool that was the focus of the PMFO training. Given that the tool is in its “pilot” phase, participant feedback on the use of the tool is very important to the tool’s future refinement for broader use in the field. The follow-up survey will be administered to participants approximately 6 months after completion of the training session.
DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents include training participants—executive leadership and managerial staff—in the Head Start / Early Head Start Population Projections Pilot training event.
