Abstract: The Head Start Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion and Social skill promotion (CARES) project will evaluate program enhancements within Head Start settings serving three-, four-, and five-year old children. This project focuses on identifying the central features of effective programs to provide the information federal policy makers and Head Start providers will need if they are to increase Head Start's capacity to improve the social and emotional skills and school readiness of preschool age children. The Head Start CARES project will use a group-based randomized design to test the effects of a set of evidence-based strategies. The project as designed holds the promise of identifying the impacts of these new approaches compared to current practices within Head Start settings and providing lessons about how they can best be integrated into Head Start classrooms around the country. The purpose of the proposed information collection is to introduce materials that will be used for the Impact Study and the Implementation Study. The content we propose for this data collection effort will be used to address the following research questions: -What are the impacts of different interventions targeted on children's social and emotional development, compared to current practice within the Head Start settings? What are the pathways by which those interventions produce their impacts? -How do the effects of each intervention vary by characteristics of Head Start grantees, classrooms, teachers, families or children? -What characteristics of Head Start settings are necessary for effective implementation of the intervention tested? -What features of Head Start settings are associated with successful training, technical assistance, and implementation of the interventions to be studied?
