[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’ve heard Head Start grants provides a school with:

Teaching training or coaching (debatable quality); materials; and what else?[/quote]

Family services support, student mental health support, professional development for teachers, GOLD support, And CLASS training.
[/quote]

What does family services support, student mental health services mean exactly/look like? And are these things needed for middle and upper middle class student?

Also I have no idea what GOLD is? And I’m not convinced that so many diff forms of prof dev/training are needed. Is there overlap or duplication?[/quote]

At our T1 school, we have a ECE family support coordinator who can help parents find jobs/job training, stable housing, domestic violence issues, apply for health insurance/food stamps/TANF, etc. We’ve never used the services but I have filled out the survey where they ask about it. They also provided dental services in school last year. No idea if this is tied to Head Start or not but I’d guess it is.[/quote]
