| Abstract: | This report includes key information on the Head Start Family and Child Experiences Survey 2014-2018 (FACES 2014) study design and a set of data tables presents descriptive statistics for the characteristics of classrooms, teachers, centers, and programs serving Head Start children and families in spring 2015. Data are drawn from the spring 2015 round FACES 2014. FACES which was first launched in 1997 as a periodic, longitudinal study of program performance. The study is conducted by Mathematica Policy Research and its partners--Educational Testing Service and Juárez and Associates--under contract to the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of this report is two-fold: (1) to provide information about the FACES study, including the background, design, methodology, measures, and analytic methods, and (2) to report detailed descriptive statistics and related standard errors in a series of tables on the programs, their staff, and classrooms. The data provide descriptive information from classroom observations and staff surveys about Head Start's efforts to help children and families meet their goals and local efforts to meet the Head Start Program Performance Standards. The data tables provide descriptive information on Head Start classrooms, teachers, centers, and programs. The FACES sample provides information at the national level about Head Start programs, centers, classrooms, and the children and families they serve. We selected a sample of Head Start programs from the 2012-2013 Head Start Program Information Report, with two centers per program and two classrooms per center selected for participation. One-hundred seventy-six programs, 346 centers, and 667 classrooms participated in the study in spring 2015. The statistics found in these tables are estimates of key characteristics of Head Start teachers, classrooms, centers, and programs in spring 2015. Teacher data on teacher characteristics are weighted to represent all teachers in Head Start. Teacher data that describe Head Start classrooms and classroom observation data are weighted to represent all Head Start classrooms. Director survey data are weighted to represent all Head Start programs or centers. |
