Book excerpt: Since its beginning in 1965 as a part of the War on Poverty, Head Start's goal has been to boost the school readiness of low-income children. Based on a 'whole child' model, the program provides comprehensive services that include pre-school education; medical, dental, and mental health care; nutrition services; and efforts to help parents foster their child's development. Head Start services are designed to be responsive to each child's and family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. The Congressionally-mandated Head Start Impact Study was conducted across 84 nationally representative grantee/delegate agencies. Approximately 5,000 newly entering 3- and 4-year-old children applying for Head Start were randomly assigned to either a Head Start group that had access to Head Start program services or to a non- Head Start group that could enrol in available community non-Head Start services, selected by their parents. Data collection began in fall 2002 and is scheduled to continue through 2006, following children through the spring of their 1st-grade year. The study quantifies the impact of Head Start separately for 3- and 4-year-old children across child cognitive, social-emotional, and health domains as well as ii on parenting practices. This book is essential reading for those in the education field.

Book excerpt: This report describes the Long-Term Benefits of Head Start (LTBHS) study designed to address questions regarding the long-term effects of the Head Start program on the children and families served. Following the introduction, Chapter 2 presents a review of the research on Head Start, focusing on Head Start Planned Variation research, major integrative reviews demonstrating improved school readiness of Head Start children and the elementary school fade-out effect, and reviews of non-Head Start demonstration models. Chapter 3 describes the LTBHS study's methodology and design, including the makeup of the diverse sample of 622 young adults who participated in Head Start in 1970-71; presents the strategies used to identify and locate study subjects for follow-up; and concludes with an overview of the participant interviews and data collected from school, public assistance, and criminal records. Chapter 4 explains how High/Scope researchers arrived at the LTBHS study's core variables. Chapter 5 summarizes findings on individual characteristics and family background. Chapter 6 summarizes how Head Start children, compared with non-Head Start children, fared into their young adult years. Chapter 7 summarizes the LTBHS study findings and discusses implications for future Head Start development and research. Findings indicated that some groups of study participants were better off as a result of their Head Start participation. Findings also indicated potential benefits for the Model (High/Scope) Head Start group versus the regular Head Start group. Although most findings were not of the expected magnitude or statistical significance, the pattern of findings across most of the educational and life-situational outcome variables had the same direction as the pattern of significant findings obtained in the High/Scope Perry Preschool study and the High/Scope Preschool Curriculum Comparison study. The report's six appendices include resources in locating study participants, definitions for the study's core variables, additional data tables, and additional findings. Four commentaries on Head Start and the LTBHS study conclude the report. (Contains 121 references.) (KB)

Download or read book Getting Ahead The Statistical Relationship Between Head Start and College Attendance written by Molly Danielle Dillon and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, Head Start was founded under President Johnson's War on Poverty to help provide low-income families with free early childhood education. While it began as a summer program, it has evolved into a preschool program. Now run by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the Department of Health and Human Services, since its inception Head Start has served nearly 30 million children. Research on the Head Start program has found significant gains in school readiness and educational abilities, however those gains tend to wear off in the early elementary years. Some have used this as an argument against the government program. Research also shows the importance of having a college education in today's modern workforce. This study therefore explores the relationship between participation in Head Start and college attendance. Without controlling properly for family background, we would be led to believe that Head Start has a significant and negative effect on the likelihood of college attendance. However, when we properly control for family background characteristics using a household level fixed effects model, we find that Head Start does not have a significant positive or negative effect on the likelihood of college attendance. The effects of Head Start coupled with rigorous and ongoing academic intervention programs should be explored in future research.
