The purpose of the Culture of Continuous Learning Project: Case Study information collection is to document the factors that contribute to the feasibility of implementing the Breakthrough Series Collaborative (BSC) quality improvement methodology in Head Start and child care centers. The OMB-approved information collection includes: (1) implementation materials (e.g., worksheets); (2) key informant interviews; (3) focus groups with key staff, teachers, and parents; (4) surveys with administrators, teachers, staff, and parents; and (5) classroom observations.
As the team prepares for the data collection, they have identified several proposed updates to improve the effort. These include:
1. Modifying the consent language for instruments associated with data archiving to also include language about the projectâs recently approved National Institute of Health (NIH) Certificate of Confidentiality
2. Eliminating the observations instrument (Instrument 18) and updating the estimated respondent burden table accordingly.
3. Adding 7 questions to the pre-post survey as an alternative to observations (Instrument 17b)
4. Eliminating questions, rearranging text, and adding survey directions and one question to the BSC Application Questionnaire (Instrument 1).
See the nonsubstantive change memo for details about changes.
