Operation Head Start
Children to be tested
KU researchers in human development and family life will test between 120 and 170 Operation Head Start children through a one-year $45,000 contract announced by the Office of Economic Opportunity in Washington, D.C.
KU is one of 10 designated regional centers testing to determine what changes Head Start makes in children and the areas of such changes, as motor development and language ability. It will test urban and rural children in white, Negro, migrant, Indian and Mexican-American groups.
Evaluators will give the initial battery of tests four weeks after the children, mostly four-year-olds, enter Head Start centers. They will observe the children throughout the year and administer a final test one month before the program ends.
Testing centers will also note facilities provided by the communities, the parents' reactions and community support.
Those who will evaluate for the Office of Economic Opportunity have been in training since Sept. 1 and should complete training by November 1. "Careful training is essential since each evaluator in all 10 centers will be expected to act the same way to produce standardized results." Barbara C. Etzel, associate professor of human development and family life and acting coordinator of the regional center at KU, said.
