(Recorded Webinar) Issues for Head Start Programs to Consider in 2021

This course is closed to new registrants. If you are interested in Head Start topics, please see our Head Start learning group for all upcoming events. 

Duration: 90 minutes
Recorded on: 1/27/2021

Some of the words used to describe 2020 include unprecedented, hellacious, apocalyptic, challenging, devastating, and unexpected. Without a doubt, the most impactful feature of the year was the COVID-19 global pandemic which caused us to introduce new words into our vocabularies, like social distancing, quarantine, WFH, and Zooming. The Head Start community did an amazing job to transform the way they worked to meet the needs of the country’s most vulnerable communities by safely providing high-quality services both remotely and in-person. In addition to the pandemic, we saw good and bad changes in the DRS (Designation Renewal System), entered the new and strange world of virtual monitoring in the FY2021, AMS (Aligned Monitoring System), and learned of changes to the Uniform Guidance. As we move into 2021, we will start the year off with a new president and administration. 

Join Ted and Nicole as they discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly events and issues of the last year and the corresponding impact on Head Start programs for 2021.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course. 

Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
