Proposed Projects
Title: Evaluation of the Head Start Region III I am Moving, I am
Learning (IM/IL) Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The purpose of this evaluation is to examine the
implementation of the Head Start project I am Moving, I am Learning
(IM/IL) as a preventive intervention targeting obesity in children. IM/
IL was designed to fit within the Head Start Performance Standards and
the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework through enhancements to current
teaching and family support practices by providing more focused
guidance on quality movement, gross and fine motor development, and
child nutrition.
This data collection will be conducted among programs implementing
IM/IL in Region III and will gain information about each site's program
context and service components, including level of adoption of IM/IL
enhancements, intensity of implementation, and sustainability of
enhancements. Outcomes and goals of the IM/IL program that can be
measured will also be assessed.
Respondents: Head Start directors, management teams, teachers, and
staff in Region III that received IM/IL training; parents or guardians
of children who attend Head Start
[[Page 32967]]
programs where IM/IL is being implemented.
