What’s Involved in Technology Planning?
This resource provides information about the seven phases of technology planning and how to use technology to further your program mission.
Program Management and Fiscal Operations
Organizational Leadership
Leadership and governance are the bedrocks of effective management. Head Start program leadership consists of three key entities: the governing body/Tribal Council (i.e., legal and fiscal responsibilities); Policy Council/parent committees (i.e., set program direction); and management staff (i.e., day-to-day operations).
Requirements for Program Transportation Services
Programs must comply with transportation regulations if they decide to transport children. This resource may be used by Head Start staff to better understand federal requirements for program transportation services.
Encouraging Safe Behavior on Buses
Consider these strategies that help children learn socialization skills and develop safe behaviors on the bus.
Vehicle Evacuation Drills
Consider these strategies as you prepare for vehicle evacuation drills.
ERSEA
Eligibility, recruitment, selection, enrollment, and attendance (ERSEA) tasks are some of the most important work performed by Head Start programs.
