Abstract: The Office of Head Start (OHS) is proposing to collect data for a new evaluation of a trauma-informed care program. The Head Start Evaluation of a Trauma-Informed Care Program is necessary to determine the intensity of professional development supports needed to enable teachers to effectively implement trauma-informed care in early care and education programs, and to evaluate the relative benefit of more intensive supports. Literature has identified practice-based coaching as a critical aspect of technical assistance for enhancing practices of early childhood educators, and this approach has been recommended by OHS (Practice-Based Coaching (PBC) | ECLKC (hhs.gov). However, there is enormous variability in the intensity and duration of coaching and little is known about how much is needed and what specific approaches may be most useful . The evaluation will include a small randomized controlled trial across 10 sites within Head Start Region V. The information collected will be used to inform ongoing training and technical assistance (TTA) work provided by the National Centers funded by OHS.
