Letters From the Superintendent...

Our mission at Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) is to advance excellence in the delivery of education in Harris County, Texas in partnership with the educational community. HCDE is a vibrant organization, which provides services to children, educators, adults, school districts, local governments, charter schools, and taxpayers.

We have been successful with our grant activity and our grants have increased over the last 10 years and, in turn, have increased services to our member districts.

We have been able to leverage federal, state, and local dollars. In Fiscal Year 2010-2011, HCDE attracted over $41 million in grants, and provided $88.7 million as an economic benefit to our member districts. The minimal maintenance and operations tax levied by HCDE allows us to provide valuable resources and supplementation to our local districts. We are thankful to our patrons for their financial support and seek their continued support and involvement.

We welcome the opportunity to showcase our best practices and award-winning programs. We invite you to visit our campuses, our headquarters at 6300 Irvington Boulevard, and/or our Westview site to experience, firsthand, our focus and commitment to excellence.

We charge every staff member with the opportunity to make a difference in every student’s life, and to tweak the instructional process to that same end. As a means to our end, we have increasingly offered services outside our county to other clients in order to leverage our resources even more. Finally, in this era of increased accountability, we strive to be the most transparent and efficient of governmental agencies. We believe that education is the tool for prosperity and success for individuals, the state, and the nation.

Yours in education,

John E. Sawyer, Ed.D., County School Superintendent

From the Policy Council Chairperson...

As the Policy Council chairperson for Harris County Department of Education Area I Head Start, I truly enjoyed my experience with the program. Head Start is a wonderful program for children and families. I think it is one of the best—if not the best—early childhood program in which our children can learn.

To promote healthy beginnings, teachers work with children to grow gardens at each of the Head Start sites. From the food menu to discussions of nutrition and education, this program teaches children the basic fundamentals of health and lends valuable lessons to prepare them for life.

I served as the representative for Kashmere Gardens Head Start for the 2008-09 and 2009-10 school years.

During both school years, I worked with the finance committee. This opportunity gave me the chance to see the importance of continued funding from the government. I was able to participate in the male initiative program which promotes male involvement. I visited other Head Start centers and acknowledged that the centers were equally as knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming as my children’s home site: Kashmere Gardens Head Start.

During my final year as a community representative, I was voted chairperson for the council. It was then that I really felt at home in my leadership role and knew that it was truly where I belonged. I felt more comfortable attending board meetings and advocating for the program. This position allowed me to write letters to the Office of Head Start on behalf of the council and afforded me other opportunities that I may not have experienced had I not been involved.

Harris County Department of Education Area I Head Start will always be near and dear to my heart. I would like to take this time to say thank you to all of those that helped to shape me and my family’s lives. May God bless the Department.

Sincerely,

Howard Sims, Policy Council Chairperson

Letters From the Director...

During the 2010-11 school year, Harris County Department of Education Head Start continued to work to create a learning environment of excellence dedicated to positively impacting our children, families, employees, community partners and society.

Major themes in the program this year included ensuring that our program curriculum and ongoing assessment aligned with the 2010 Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework. We also worked to ensure that it met the needs of children and families in our community.

HCDE Head Start began the process of establishing school readiness goals to track children’s status and progression. Staff began to work with parents and community partners to ensure that as goals were established, they aligned with the five domains of the Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework; and Texas Pre-K Guidelines. Moreover, we are dedicated to meeting and exceeding the requirements and expectations of the school district into which our Head Start students transition.

In January 2011, the Head Start community mourned the passing of R. Sargent Shriver. Shriver committed his life to ensure that millions of disadvantaged children and their families have an equal opportunity to succeed by founding numerous social programs. He was a driving force and founder of the Head Start Program as the “architect” of Johnson’s “War on Poverty.” The Head Start community salutes a great champion for families.

We thank all the Head Start parents, HCDE Board of Trustees, supporting HCDE divisions, Head Start team and community partners for their commitment and contributions to the program. Each day we work hand-inhand to continue our journey to excellence.

Each day we work hand-in-hand to continue our journey to excellence.

Staff Spotlight Center Teacher Elizabeth Bell: Head Start lays foundation for mother and son’s journey to success

E

lizabeth Bell was seeking affordable childcare for her youngest son in order to work full time while attending community college. What the single mother of two found was Head Start. What she didn’t realize those 17 years ago was the impact her son’s school would have on her own personal achievement.

A natural educator, Bell aspired to become a teacher since she was in grade school. From becoming involved with Head Start as a parent, Bell made a natural transition into heading a Head Start classroom.

Currently a teacher at the San Jacinto Head Start Center, Bell has worked in the program for more than eight years. Having previously stood in the shoes of many of the Head Start parents, Bell finds fulfillment in giving back to the children of the community.

“I feel like all children deserve quality education regardless of their background,” said Bell. “At their age, they need a solid foundation to feel confident in who they are.”

A life-long learner, Bell has two associate degrees from Houston Community College, a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies from University of Houston – Downtown and a master’s degree in human services and consumer sciences from Texas Southern University. She is currently seeking her second master’s degree in leadership and administration from TSU. “Both Head Start and HCDE contributed to my success and me being where I am today through supportive opportunities and scholarships made available through the program,” said Bell.

Bell received scholarships in 2008 and 2010 from the Texas Head Start Association and Collaborative for Children while pursuing her first master’s degree.

Bell works daily to instill the importance of education in the children in her classroom as well as her own sons. Edward is now a junior pursuing his Bachelor of Music at Louisiana State University.

“Head Start helped give Edward the basic foundation that he needed to have a positive attitude about the importance of going to school and getting an education,” said Bell.

“Head Start and I coming together helped pave his road to success.”

Student Spotlight Edward Bell: from the Head Start classroom to a European concert tour

T

hrough a solid foundation of learning achieved through Head Start and his mother Elizabeth, Edward Bell is on the road to success.

It’s difficult to recall his early childhood years, but Edward believes he would not be where he is today without Head Start. “I think Head Start helped me to gain a positive work ethic, become organized and learn how to cooperate with others,” said Edward.

“I think Head Start helped me to gain a positive work ethic, become organized and learn how to cooperate with others.”

- Edward Bell

Elizabeth remembers the difference between her first son Kenneth, who did not attend Head Start, and Edward. “Edward was more prepared for school than Kenneth, who didn’t start school until kindergarten, especially when it came to social development,” said Bell.

Edward is a true Head Start success story. He graduated in the top 10 percent of his class from The High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

He currently studies music at Louisiana State University and is a National Honor Society member.

A talented concert pianist and opera singer, he is a member of the internationally known LSU A Cappella Choir and had the honor of performing in Europe his freshman year of college.

Upon graduation, he intends to immediately enroll in graduate school at Florida A&M University.

On the Road to Success Community Partner Bates Custom & Collision celebrates gifting 20 cars in 20 years to needy families

T

he day that single mom Stacey Stimage received her rehabbed 2004 Ford Taurus was that day that she started going places in life: literally.

Stimage was awarded the Responsible Parenting Award and Benevolence Car on Dec. 16 from Bates Custom & Collision. She calls the vehicle the best Christmas gift she could ever receive.

“I would like to thank Bates Custom & Collision for helping me accomplish my dreams,” said the determined mother of four who was nominated for the award and wrote a winning essay expressing need for the vehicle.

During the past decade the familyowned business run by Lee and Leila Bates and staff have located and rehabbed 20 cars for needy families as the business celebrates its 20th year in business. The slogan 20 cars and 20 years made the 2010 event sentimentally significant to the Bates family and staff.

After locating two donated vehicles each year, Bates staff members get busy with rehabbing them. Paint, tires, engine repair and upholstering are needed. Staff works on the car after hours and weekends to accomplish the goal. Community partners assist with insurance and other resources.

“We know that a car is the vehicle these young parents need to get them further down the road to independence,” Bates co-owner Leila Bates said. “We are appreciative of the assistance that HCDE Head Start has provided in helping to identify deserving families.”

Stimage criss-crossed through three bus routes to get her son Tyrese to the Kashmere Head Start Center where he attended school each day. In addition, she transported two additional children to their home schools before making it to her job at WalMart.

She uses her set of wheels to get her kids to-and-from doctor appointments, after-school activities such as Little League and football and church activities. The mother of four continues to set goals for higher education as she attends GED classes.

Head Start Director Venetia Peacock stresses the value of HCDE Head Start’s community partnership with Bates Custom & Collision.

“We honor Bates Custom & Collision’s dedication to building community partnerships,” Peacock said. “They live the philosophy that the community benefits from healthier, well-balanced children and families.”

Child Outcomes Data Child Development Outcomes Harris County Department of Education uses the BDI-2 (Battelle Developmental Inventory – 2nd Edition) a “standardized, individually administered assessment battery of key developmental skills in children from birth through 7 years of age.” It involves observations of the child, parent and/or caregiver interviews and interactions with the child using toys, games, and tasks. During sessions with the child, the examiner(s) observes the child’s ability to follow directions, interact and perform selected tasks. The child’s performance is scored-based on standardized criteria using a simple three-point scoring system.

The BDI-2 looks at developmental milestones. It is generally accepted that child development occurs in a particular sequence.

The attainment of one skill typically depends on the acquisition and mastery of preceding skills. From an identified list of over 4,000 skills that appear in typically developing children, the designers of the BDI-2 chose 450 test items placed into five domains and additional sub-domains: Adoptive Domain

Self-care

Personal-social Domain

N/A

Peer Interaction

Self-concept and Social Role

Expressive Communication

N/A

Adult Interaction

Communication Domain Receptive Communication Motor Domain Cognitive Domain

Personal Responsibility

Gross Motor

Fine Motor

Perceptual Motor

Attention and Memory

Reasoning and Academic Skills

Perception and Concepts

Child Health Outcomes Because a child relies on the grown-ups in his/her life to take care of him/her, it’s up to us to maintain ongoing communication with each other and with parents about how things are going — which includes talking about a child’s healthcare. Children learn best when they are healthy. In order for children to be healthy, they need regular, ongoing care, which allows for the prevention and early detection of problems. Intervening when a problem is identified early saves parents the time and money that is required to deal with a health issue once it becomes serious. What children are exposed to in their early Head Start years has a huge impact on the habits they have and how healthy they are when they grow up. Healthy kids become healthy adults!

Child Outcomes Data A total of 1,125 students completed each assessment during the 2010-11 school year. The sample includes students with an identified disability and both 3- and 4-yearolds. Above average was the target to identify children as school ready.

Aggregated data in terms of percentages of skills demonstrated the following: • In the initial assessment, 58.3% of the students mastered the Adaptive Domain.

By the final assessment, the percentage increased to 82.7%; therefore, 24.4% of the students move from below average and average to above average in the Adaptive Domain.

• In the initial assessment, 57.6% of the students mastered the Personal Social Domain. By the final assessment, the percentage increased to 87.6%, therefore 30% of the students move from below average and average to above average Personal Social Domain.

• In the initial assessment, 36.1% of the students mastered the Communication Domain. By the final assessment, the percentage increased to 75.5%, therefore 39.4% of the students move from below average and average to above average Communication Domain. The outcomes in this area were impacted by the fact that 9.3% of students assessed had an identified speech or language delay.

• In the initial assessment, 50.6% of the students mastered the Motor Domain. By the final assessment, the percentage increased to 81.7%, therefore 31.1% of the students move from below average and average to above average Motor Domain.

• In the initial assessment, 19.3% of the students mastered the Cognitive Domain.

By the final assessment, the percentage increased to 78.4%, therefore 59.1% of the students move from below average and average to above average Cognitive Domain.

Students demonstrated the greatest gains in communication and cognitive skills, 39.4% and 50.1% respectively. The smallest gains were in adaptive skills, which we attribute to the high levels of skills in this area at the entry into the program.

During the spring of 2011, HCDE Head Start began its curriculum and assessment selection process. HCDE will identify and acquire curriculum and assessment that reflect the Head Start Child Development and Early Frameworks domains and elements. Those tools will better support the acquisition and tackling of school readiness skills. Timelines include the implementation of the new curriculum by the 2012-13 school year.

How We Learn Preparing Children for Kindergarten Let’s Begin with the Letter People is a research-based, classroom-tested early childhood program structured to support the Head Start Program Performance Standards and the National Head Start Association (NHSA) key recommendations for teachers and parents. The Letter People Curriculum is based on the following beliefs: • •

•

• •

chool should be a place of enjoyment — play is the work S of young children, and learning should be fun!

Learning proceeds from prior knowledge — moving from the known to the new. Learning of any given concept or skill occurs best in context. Accordingly, the best educational program provides integrated experiences.

Literacy development is an emergent process — depending on ample opportunity for use of receptive and productive oral language; exposure to various forms of print; experience with drawing and writing; and formal examination of sounds, letters, and their relationships.

Physical development is essential —children learn by doing.

Healthy social development is a key to success in school and in life!

The Letter People expresses those beliefs through the reality of an interactive, center-based format, allowing children to explore, investigate, and construct knowledge in ways that are interesting and fun.

Community Partners Head Start road to success depends on community support Assistance League of Houston, ESCAPE Family Resource Center honored for ‘acts of compassion and service’ The road to success depends on outstanding partners like the Assistance League of Houston and ESCAPE Family Resource Center.

The Assistance League of Houston earned the Harris County Department of Education Outstanding Community Partner Award this year while ESCAPE Family Resource Center received the Outstanding Head Start Center Partner Award. Both organizations were honored at an end-of-school year luncheon.

Through Operation School Bell, the Assistance League of Houston provided school uniforms for 1,250 children enrolled in Harris County Department of Education (HCDE) Head Start centers this year. Jo Pender, president, says the philanthropic program founded in 1958 is aimed at helping children feel better about themselves and positive about going to school.

The packages help provide the children with confidence, self esteem and an opportunity to make education a priority in their lives,” Pender said.

ESCAPE Family Resource Center was recognized for a family program it offered at the Channelview Head Start Center called “Building Confident Families.”

Each organization received an appreciation plaque along with plenty of handshakes, hugs and commendations. Moreover, the emotional ceremony acknowledges the acts of compassion and service that support Head Start families.

“We like to say that to help a family is to help the entire world,” said Venetia Peacock, Head Start director. “Our community partners help us complete our initiatives to support families and prepare children for success in school.”
