Marcia Abbo has worked frequently with Head Start since leaving the classroom as a preschool teacher in 1976. As a consultant for Head Start, she participated in Head Start Peer Review teams and worked with such early Head Start demonstration programs as Project Developmental Continuity (PDC), Home Start, and the Child and Family Resource Program (CFRP). She was also a member of the Head Start Resource Access Project (RAP) evaluation team in the 1980's.
In 1992 and 1993, Marcia, along with Denise Woods and Loree Cook-Daniels, provided conflict resolution services to Head Start Region III grantees at the CAMEO (Creating and Managing Effective Organizations) follow-up management training. (See page 4.)
Marcia currently operates Conflict Resolution Dialogue, a company that has developed a conflict resolution process suitable for Head Start programs. Conflict Resolution Dialogue uses problem-solving methods to transform difficult work environments into positive, productive workplaces. The company also offers training in team building, organizational management, and retreat facilitation.
Marcia has a M.S. in Conflict Management from George Mason University and a M.Ed. in Early Childhood Education from the University of New Hampshire.
An omission was made in the Head Start Highlights issue of the Head Start Bulletin No. 60, on page 4, top of left column, in the article "Head Start Initiatives." The bullet should have read: "A special new national program for Head Start Fellows was launched to support the development of a cadre of individuals with the experience and commitment to be future leaders in Head Start." The Bureau regrets the omission.
