Systems Matrix:
A systematic design for work plans for the operation
of Head Start programs is explicit in the new performance standards.
A model that “tells us exactly how well you are operating in
measurable and qualitative terms” is required. An effective
"Monitoring System," therefore, ensures that there will
be a system in place for the ongoing monitoring of program operations
to ensure that these operations effectively implement federal regulations.
Dates for Head Start Actions: A timetable for compliance with the
new federal regulations to be used as part of your work plans.
Managing Your Head Start Organization: The complete PowerPoint presentation
