The Head Start CARES (Classroom-based Approaches and Resources for Emotion
and Social skill promotion) demonstration tests three distinct approaches
to enhancing children's social-emotional development on a large scale
within the Head Start system - the largest federally funded early-childhood
education program in the US. The three evidence-based social-emotional
interventions selected for the Head Start CARES evaluation included: The
Incredible Years Teacher Training Program (IY), Preschool PATHS (PATHS),
and a one-year version of Tools of the Mind-Play (Tools- Play). Conceived
and sponsored by the Office of Head Start and the Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation in the Administration for Children and Families
within the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the Head
Start CARES demonstration was conducted by MDRC, a nonprofit, nonpartisan
education and social policy research organization, in collaboration with
MEF Associates and several academic partners.

The Head Start CARES Demonstration data are made available for secondary
analysis through the Research Connections website (
www.researchconnections.org) and are well-suited for use by graduate
students exploring research opportunities, instructors interested in
bringing large national data into the classroom, and researchers analyzing
the development of young children. This study includes the following:

•Baseline and Follow-up Class-level Impact Analysis Data
•Child-level Impact Analysis Data
•Class-level Implementation Analysis Data
•Coach-level Implementation Analysis Data
•Audiotape Analysis Data

This 90-minute webinar will:
•Introduce the Head Start CARES Demonstration data archive
•Increase your understanding of the design of the Head Start CARES
Demonstration project and the instruments used at the various levels of
study
•Introduce you to the Head Start CARES impact analysis model
•Review the data organization and the features of each of the available
data sets

The webinar is free & open to the public.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the webinar.
