Proposed Information Collection Activity; Comment Request

Proposed Projects

    Title: Evaluation of the Head Start Region III I am Moving, I am 
Learning (IM/IL) Program.
    OMB No.: New Collection.
    Description: The purpose of this evaluation is to examine the 
implementation of the Head Start project I am Moving, I am Learning 
(IM/IL) as a preventive intervention targeting obesity in children. IM/
IL was designed to fit within the Head Start Performance Standards and 
the Head Start Child Outcomes Framework through enhancements to current 
teaching and family support practices by providing more focused 
guidance on quality movement, gross and fine motor development, and 
child nutrition.
    This data collection will be conducted among programs implementing 
IM/IL in Region III and will gain information about each site's program 
context and service components, including level of adoption of IM/IL 
enhancements, intensity of implementation, and sustainability of 
enhancements. Outcomes and goals of the IM/IL program that can be 
measured will also be assessed.
    Respondents: Head Start directors, management teams, teachers, and 
staff in Region III that received IM/IL training; parents or guardians 
of children who attend Head Start

programs where IM/IL is being implemented.
