Guiding Questions

1) Do your services strongly incorporate parental involvement and leadership?

2) Are staff and resources available to implement and/or maintain the parent "group socialization" supplemental service required by Head Start?

3) Does your program show a willingness and success in collaborating with other key community leaders and programs in the areas of child care, early child development, prenatal services, and pre-K programs?

4) How are training and technical assistance systems coordinated in your state? What efforts are there to link state and federal projects?*

5) What types of state-level planning mechanisms assist state leaders in establishing and acting on a shared early education agenda?*

* From The Quilt Project, "Questions for State-Level Leaders to Consider"
