Program and Participants
2000
This report is the second in a series of annual process evaluation
survey results for the Aboriginal Head Start (AHS) Program in Urban
and Northern Communities. It presents key findings of the National
Administrative and Process Evaluation Survey 2000. The National
Administrative and Process Evaluation Survey collects data
regarding characteristics of the program and its participants,
project administration and coordination, program components and the
various activities associated with them, and program needs and
finances. A National AHS Impact Evaluation is in development and
will be the mechanism through which AHS will determine the impact
the program is having on children, parents and the community. The
survey results highlighted here are instrumental in developing the
National Impact Evaluation.
