Fall 2013 Director Webinars


Innovations for Better Outcomes:

Fall 2013 Director’s Webinar Series


 

About the Webinars


In spring 2013, the National Head Start Association and Acelero Learning debuted the Innovations for Better Outcomes Head Start Director’s Webinar Series, primarily focusing on innovations in the areas of education and family services.

Now, with additional requirements for new five-year grantees to “define anticipated outcomes, and include measures of program progress,” Head Start programs are under more pressure than ever before to demonstrate clear child outcomes. This webinar series will delve into at a set of innovations designed by Acelero Learning in the areas of Program Design & Management and Innovations Monitoring specifically for Head Start programs.

External research conducted on Acelero Learning’s programs shows that this innovative approach produces child outcome gains at more than twice the Head Start average as documented in FACES and the National Head Start Impact Study. This series is ideal for directors who are looking to understand current cutting-edge practices, and who want to get ideas for tools and approaches to incorporate into their own Head Start program in a very practical way.
