Head Start to Kindergarten (HS2K) Project Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) Analyses: Stakeholder Feedback & Discussion

Stakeholder Discussion Guide

Instructions: After the presentation of findings, we will use these questions to guide the discussion with Head Start Program Directors and Head Start Collaboration Office Directors. We will begin with the first question and will ask subsequent questions either in order or as appropriate with the flow of the discussion. Our goal is to have enough time for stakeholders to both react to the findings and to suggest stakeholders that may benefit from the findings.

1. What findings resonate the most with you? In what ways?

   1. What are the biggest takeaways from your perspective?

2. Did anything surprise you? In what ways?

3. What findings resonate the least with you? In other words, are there any findings that you think do not reflect your experience with MOUs? In what ways?

4. Is there anything that we shared that needs more clarity or explanation?

5. Besides yourselves, what other stakeholders might benefit from learning about these findings?

   PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT OF 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BURDEN: The purpose of this information collection is to gather feedback on analyses the Head Start to Kindergarten (HS2K) project team recently conducted to explore memoranda of understanding (MOUs) between Head Start programs and local education agencies (LEAs). Through discussion groups, the project team will share findings from their analyses and seek input on whether the approach and understanding of the MOUs align with respondents’ experiences as Head Start Directors and Head Start Collaboration Office Directors. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per respondent, including the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and reviewing the collection of information.  This is a voluntary collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  The OMB # is 0970-0401 and the expiration date is 06/30/2024. If you have any comments on this collection of information, please contact Stacy Ehrlich at Ehrlich-Stacy@norc.org.

   What are some ideas you have for sharing these findings with various stakeholders?
