The federal Department of Health and Human Service's proposed changes to the Head Start Program Performance Standards could have significant implications for children, families, and Head Start programs nationwide.
Join the Society for Research in Child Development for a conversation with Walter S. Gilliam, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Buffett Early Childhood Institute at the University of Nebraska and a leading national expert on early childhood policy, Head Start, and program quality.
Gilliam will share his perspective on the new Head Start NPRM, what is at stake, and what developmental science can tell us about the proposed changes. The conversation will also provide an opportunity for individuals and organizations to consider evidence and issues as they develop and submit their own public comments on the proposed rule by the October 6 deadline.
