Bloom, Paula Jorde; And Others
This report summarizes results of the evaluation of Head Start's Leadership Training Program. The introductory chapter provides background information on the program, including a rationale for leadership training, goals and objectives of the program, and ways in which participants were selected. Chapter II provides an overview of the training model. Discussion concerns the model's philosophical underpinnings, the logistics of training, and the content of the curriculum. Chapter III summarizes results of the evaluation of the program and documents training outcomes for participants and their respective centers. Finally, Chapter IV provides selected case studies of three participants. Data were collected from personal interviews, participants' journals, instructors, supervisors, and an exit interview. Case studies were organized according to the following headings: (1) background information; (2) entry into the program; (3) individual characteristics; (4) growth and change. Extensive appendices provide promotional literature, correspondence of candidates, names of resource instructors, course outlines, a certificate of completion, evaluation instruments, participant responses to a training needs assessment and program evaluation, a work environment profile, supervisor feedback, and participants' research topics.
