(Recorded Webinar) Monitoring Tips

Duration: 70 minutes
Recorded on: 11/9/2022

Head Start programs must undergo federal programmatic monitoring at least once every three years. In addition to scheduled reviews under the AMS 2.0, the Head Start Act allows for unannounced reviews in which the monitoring team shows up at your program unexpectedly. Now that the monitoring review process is linked to re-competition under the Designated Renewal System (DRS), avoiding review findings is especially important. 

On this webinar, Feldesman attorneys will provide:

  • An overview of AMS 2.0
  • The nuts and bolts of the monitoring process
  • Advice on ensuring your monitoring review goes smoothly
  • Tips on how to handle an "unannounced" review

Target Audience

  • Executive Directors
  • Head Start Directors
  • Any program personnel who are new to the monitoring process
  • Management Team
  • New Leadership/Management Staff

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Describe the nuts and bolts of the monitoring process and identify the major changes 
  • Better prepare for a future monitoring review
  • Understand which tips to implement when faced with an "unannounced" review

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.
