  • 1.  Head Start threshold scores

    Posted 01-22-2019 11:19
    Hi all!
    This is my first post so I'm hoping someone has an answer for me!  My administrator is looking for threshold scores/cut-off scores for Head Start.  The last ones I could find for the three domains was from 2012.  Does anybody have a document they could share with me that has more updated scores?  Thank you!

    Hi Kiley,

    You can view the information you requested at the following link:

    A National Overview of Grantee CLASS® Scores in 2017 | ECLKC
    During the 2016-2017 program year, the Office of Head Start (OHS) used the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS®) Pre-K Teacher-Child Observation Instrument during its on-site reviews of grantees. Review this resource for descriptive statistics of the 2017 grantee-level CLASS® data.

    Be sure to scroll down to the heading of Distribution by Domain. This will provide you with the data for the lowest 10%, in addition to others.
    There is also an option to pull a PDF version.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Have a great day!

    Thank you for sharing this link! 
    Does Teachstone have national data (lowest and highest 10% and median (50%) for Infant and Toddler CLASS? National data for all programs, whether or not they are Head Start grantees? I imagine this would be collected through states' QRIS and wonder if such a data gathering effort is in place.

    Hi Ann, Unfortunately, Teachstone doesn't have national CLASS data on Infant programs. Data from the 2015 Early Head Start Baby Faces study reports the following data for participating EHS Toddler classrooms. It is important to note that programs who wish to compare their Toddler CLASS data recognize that their program demographics may not be the same as those in EHS, which could limit the comparability of the data.

    @AnnDillenbeck​, the EHS Toddler data that Liz shared yesterday is the main thing that we have right now. We do have some Infant & Toddler data from other sources, such as QRIS, and hope to review it and have a document  summarizing key findings later this winter.
