REPORT ON HEAD START MONITORING FY 1999 Each head start program was required to have a wellbalanced child assessment system,aligned with its curriculum, to gather data on children in these and http://www2.acf.dhhs.gov/programs/hsb/programs/monitoring.htm
Extractions: Questions? Privacy Site Index Contact Us ... Back to Programs and Services PURPOSE One of the major tools for ensuring quality Head Start services for children and families is on-site monitoring. During an on-site review, a team of qualified reviewers led by a Federal employee assesses whether or not the Head Start program is meeting the Head Start Program Performance Standards and other applicable regulations. In other words, is the Head Start program in that particular community providing quality services to children and their families? In Fiscal Year (FY) 1999, 545 grantees were reviewed with approximately 81 percent found to be providing high quality services to children and their families in all dimensions of their programs. The remaining programs had one or more aspects of their programs that required improvement. The purpose of this report is to provide a more complete summary to Congress on the results of the monitoring process in FY 1999. LEGISLATIVE MANDATE - SECTION 641A Section 641A of the Head Start Act requires that each Head Start grantee receive a full on-site review of all programs, administrative, financial management, and other requirements at least once every three years. Approximately one-third of grantees are, therefore, monitored each year. Additionally, new Head Start grantees are reviewed after completion of the first year of providing Head Start services.

Extractions: G oing to a health care professional can be stressful for anyone. For an American Indian, cultural differences can make such a visit even more daunting.

HCOP is designed to prepare minority students for the rigorous academic challenges that lie ahead of them in a health-related field of study. The program, based at the School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Sciences, aims to increase the number of Indian pharmacists and physical therapists practicing in Montana.
