*WORKSHOP: INTRODUCING THE THIRD GRADE FOLLOW-UP*

*TO THE HEAD START IMPACT STUDY*

*DATE:  JULY 7, 2014*

*TIME:  6:30 PM – 9:00 PM*



This training workshop will provide an overview of the Third Grade
Follow-up to the Head Start Impact Study (HSIS).  Along with a discussion
of the unique characteristics of this newest HSIS cohort, the workshop will
provide an overview of the study design, methodology, key findings  and
introduce potential data users to technical issues associated with using
the Third Grade Follow-up data for secondary analysis.

The Head Start Impact Study (HSIS) is a large, longitudinal, nationally
representative study of the Head Start Population, aimed at determining how
Head Start affects their school readiness.  The Third Grade Follow-up
examines the longer-term impact of the Head Start program on the well-being
of children and families through the end of third grade. Both studies, for
different grade levels, examined differences in outcomes in several domains
related to school readiness: children's cognitive, social-emotional,
health, and parenting outcomes. They also examined whether impacts differed
based on characteristics of the children and their families.

The HSIS Third Grade Follow-up data is currently available for secondary
analysis through *Research Connections* (www.researchconnections.org). HSIS
data are well-suited for use by graduate students exploring research
opportunities, instructors interested in bringing large datasets of
national scope into the classroom, and researchers analyzing the
development of young children and their early childhood experiences.

*REGISTRATION: * There is no fee to attend this workshop, but space is
limited and advance registration is required.  You must be registered for
the Head Start National Research conference to participate.  Workshop slots
will be awarded on a first-come/first-serve basis.  To register, email:
contact at researchconnections.org.  A follow-up message will be sent with
additional information/instructions.
This training is sponsored by the National Center for Children in Poverty
(NCCP), Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
(ICPSR), and the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation (OPRE).
