Based Program Option
Home visitors need to identify various strategies
for meeting the component objectives of the Head Start Program Performance
Standards. The videotape depicts various ways in which many of these
objectives can be met. Refer to the Head Start Program Performance Standards
and this publication's fact sheet entitled, "How to Meet the Performance
Standards in the Head Start Home-Based Program Option' (page 29). On the
fact sheet, the Performance Standards have been paraphrased to reflect
the Head Start home-based program option. Only those Standards that might
be identified in the videotape are included. As you view the videotape,
look for examples of activities that meet the Performance Standards in
each of the component areas. Record these examples on a photo-copy of the
chart below.
