Program and Participants 2000
This report is the second in a series of annual process evaluation survey results for the Aboriginal Head Start in Urban and Northern Communities (AHSUNC) Program. It presents key findings of the National Administrative and Process Evaluation Survey 2000. The National Administrative and Process Evaluation Survey collects data regarding characteristics of the program and its participants, project administration and coordination, program components and the various activities associated with them, and program needs and finances. A National AHSUNC Impact Evaluation is in development and will be the mechanism through which AHSUNC will determine the impact the program is having on children, parents and the community. The survey results highlighted here are instrumental in developing the National Impact Evaluation.
