FY 2012 Office of Head Start On-Site Review Protocol

Do you have a Head Start or Early Head Start monitoring review coming up? If so, you need to get up to speed on the 2012 Monitoring Protocol that the Office of Head Start released in October. If you aren’t due for a monitoring visit, this is still a valuable document because every Head Start and Early Head Start program is required to maintain sound management, whether or not they are scheduled for a monitoring review in FY 2012. And don’t forget that OHS is making more surprise visits, so you can’t be sure you won’t have a review.

Join us for this webinar and learn what’s changed and how to get ready for your monitoring visit. This new protocol has been revised to place a greater emphasis on the systems that programs have in place to enhance the quality of the delivery and management of program services. The focus of the protocol is on making connections between program systems and collecting data on critical indicators of success in promoting school readiness. The protocol organizes elements of program performance standards, the Head Start Act, and other regulations.

We will review the documents, questions, and people who will need to be involved in four sections of the protocol. Let us introduce you to the 2012 Monitoring Protocol so you can successfully perform self-monitoring and prepare for your review.
