After 33 Years and $30 Billion, Time to Find Out if Head Start Produces Results Backgrounder #1202 Report, The Heritage Foundation, July 15, 1998. Also: http://www.heritage.org/Research/Education/BG1202.cfm Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: The Heritage Foundation Keyword(s): Head Start Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper argues that the effectiveness of the Head Start program has been insufficiently studied and calls for its evaluation using NLSY data. The NLSY study would examine a wide range of outcomes, including cognitive, socio-emotional, behavioral, and academic development, while controlling for such factors as family background, the mother's intelligence quotient (IQ), and the mother's level of education. The authors note that there is a tendency on the part of NLSY parents to overstate the attendance of their children in Head Start and ask that the researchers adjust the data accordingly. |
