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; (2) planning, implementing, administering, and monitoring the educational services; (3) supervising staff; (4) training staff and parents; and (5) evaluating the educational 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 an outline of the responsibilities of the coordinator in that role, 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 relevant reponsibilities follow. Each chapter concludes with a topical bibliography of annotated resources. (PCB)
