SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Head Start Managers/Coordinators Wave 2 survey addresses four distinct domains of Head Start activity: (1) Program management and fiscal operations; (2) education; (3) parent and family engagement; and (4) health and wellness. The Wave 2 survey addresses how these activity domains are structured and staffed with the grantee organization, the types of T/TA and resources sought and used to improve practice in each domain, perceptions of usefulness of recent T/TA received, and T/TA priorities for the next program year.
Respondents: Head Start Directors, Head Start Managers/Coordinators.
