This guide addresses the roles and responsibilities of education coordinators in Head Start programs. The guide covers the key roles of the coordinator: (1) leading the education component of the program; (2) planning, implementing, administering, and monitoring the educational services; (3) supervising staff; (4) training staff and parents; and (5) evaluating the program. With the exception of the first chapter, which is an overview of Head Start and the education component, each of the eight chapters begins with a statement of the responsibilities of the coordinator, a list of activities to perform and documents to review before reading the chapter, and a self-assessment. Narrative discussions of concepts and strategies related to fulfilling relevent responsibilities follow. Each chapter concludes with a topical bibliography of annotated resources. (PCB)
