Revised HS Program Performance Standards (2016)

(b)(2) Quality Rating and Improvement Systems . . . must participate in its state or local QRIS if:

(i) Its state or local QRIS accepts Head Start monitoring data to document quality indicators included in the state’s tiered system;(ii) Participation would not impact a program’s ability to comply with Head Start Performance Standards; and,(iii) The program has not provided the Office of Head Start with a compelling reason not to comply with this requirement.

• Why does Head Start participate in QRIS?

• Importance of context: Understanding the Head Start philosophy

• How Head Start can lead QRIS efforts

• Lessons learned from Head Start and QRIS together

Head Start Perspective

Page 8: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org   March 21

Every state QRIS is different

States use various approaches to include Head Start

• Alignment• Reciprocity• Alternative pathways

Models for Participation

Page 9: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org   March 21

Alignment

Align the state QRIS standards with HS Program Performance Standards.

Resource: National Program Standards Toolhttps://qrisguide.acf.hhs.gov/crosswalk/

Page 10: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org   March 21

Reciprocity

Programs receive reciprocity in QRISs for meeting existing Head Start Program Performance Standards.

Options: Come in at a higher level in QRIS or be awarded points without having to go through data collection or rating processes.

Page 11: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org   March 21

Alternative Pathway

Programs in good standing enter the QRIS at a different level than a child care program.

Example: A Head Start enters at a level 3 as opposed to starting at level 1.
