Title: Redefining parent involvement in Head Start: a two‐generation approach
Abstract: The present review of the literature aims to look at two‐generation programs and their effects on children and parents as a potential strategy to improve parent involvement in Head Start while responding to the self‐sufficiency needs of families. This paper reviews several two‐generation program evaluations: Comprehensive Child Development Program, Even Start Family Literacy Program, Head Start Family Service Centers, New Chance and New Hope. Lessons learned from the evaluation of these programs are used to suggest options for enhancing Head Start program’s ability to respond to the needs of low‐income families and maintain a high level of parent involvement.
