Head Start Information—Transition Coordinators and Others

Guiding Transition In States
Support systems exist at many levels to support Head Start transitions from local program planning to planning at the state level. Every state has a Head Start State Collaboration Director whose primary responsibility is to connect Head Start to other state systems that will further support Head Start children and families. Head Start State Collaboration Directors are involved with developing, guiding, and promoting policies that help to create effective paths of communication between Head Start and other state systems, such as State Departments of Education, that oversee the care and education of young children.
