| Summary: | Even Start is a comprehensive program of family support intended to help parents provide children who are at-risk with the tools necessary to start formal schooling. This report provides an overview of the conference agendas of three U.S. Department of Education Even Start Technical Assistance conferences, as well as information gathered from the over 850 Even Start grantees and state coordinators who attended the meetings. The conferences focused on working with families and integrating health and social services to meet the needs of families more effectively. Breakout sessions and focus group discussions addressed the challenges that grantees face in implementing the parenting component, successful strategies for implementing parenting programs, and the changes observed as a result of successful parenting programs. Two appendixes contain detailed agendas from the three conferences and a conference evaluation form for participants. (MDM) |
