Analyze child assessment data at regular intervals, including appropriate subgroup analysis for children with disabilities and dual language learners, and integrate findings into other program data. Use findings to recommend and evaluate adjustments to teaching practices, curriculum implementation, professional development, coaching, staffing, resource allocation, program design, and services.
Provide strategic direction for high-quality, developmentally, culturally, and linguistically responsive education services for infants, toddlers, and preschool children, including children with disabilities and dual language learners.
Ensure curriculum, teaching practices, learning environments, child assessment, individualization, and family partnership practices align with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, Colorado requirements, program school readiness goals, and applicable Head Start Program Performance Standards.
