[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

GOLD is Teaching Strategies' (Creative Curriculum) assessment/observation/lesson planning system. 
CLASS is a research-based tool that is used to score teacher-child interactions and OSSE uses it to rate schools.[/quote]

Interestingly, GOLD doesn't seem to be implemented at my kid's current T1 losing T1 school; I only noticed because it was very much used at my kid's true T1 last year. [/quote]

And that explains why the CLASS scores at Ludlow Taylor have been consistently bad.[/quote]
