Head Start study points to parenting as key aid
A SIU Carbondale study emphasizes that improving parenting may best support Head Start outcomes. Jennie Jones argues that training parents, not only children, boosts early development, with programs expanding since 1965 from Carbondale to Williamson counties and beyond.
Head Start Pupils Benefit From Program Study Says
A 1976 study cited by Steve Rumble of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale Head Start Agency finds Head Start children show higher test scores in early grades and better reading readiness. The study, based on 62 nationwide studies since 1969, notes improvements in immunizations, nutrition, attendance, and parenting skills, with debate shifting to which federal department should oversee the program.
