The Administration for Children and Families’ FACES study periodically collects nationally representative information about Head Start programs, their staff, and the children and families they serve to inform program planning and technical assistance and enable research.
This information collection request is for planned data collection activities for FACES program- and classroom-level data collection in spring 2022, as well as spring 2022 FACES and AIAN FACES data collection activities to follow up on fall 2021, addressing how families and staff are faring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection activities for both studies include teacher sampling, parent surveys, teacher–child reports, and staff surveys. FACES includes classroom observations.
The information collection request will support an additional spring 2022 wave of data collection of the FACES 2019 and AIAN FACES 2019 studies under OMB number 0970-0151.
