Summer Training of Trainers for the Full National Implementation of the NRS

The training-of-trainers workshops will be conducted in selected cities throughout Summer 2003. Participants will be Head Start staff from each program who will, in turn, train staff at their local program on the NRS procedures. One representative from a grantee or delegate agency with up to 400 children ages 4 to 5 will attend; an additional representative will attend for each additional group of up to 400 children ages 4 to 5. The 2½- day training will focus on the goals of the NRS, the administration of the child assessment, the entering of data into the computer-based reporting system, and suggested techniques to train the local Head Start staff on the NRS. An update on summer training for the NRS is available at www.esilsg.org/NRStraining/index.htm. This Web site also contains the June 5 satellite broadcast from the Head Start Bureau about the NRS.
