Revised HS Program Performance Standards (2016)
(b)(2) Quality Rating and Improvement Systems . . . must participate in its state or local QRIS if:
(i) Its state or local QRIS accepts Head Start monitoring data to document quality indicators included in the state’s tiered system;(ii) Participation would not impact a program’s ability to comply with Head Start Performance Standards; and,(iii) The program has not provided the Office of Head Start with a compelling reason not to comply with this requirement.
Head Start and QRIS

• Why does Head Start participate in QRIS?
• Importance of context: Understanding the Head Start philosophy
• How Head Start can lead QRIS efforts
• Lessons learned from Head Start and QRIS together
Head Start Perspective
![Page 8: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org March 21](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021514/5b1457bc7f8b9a487c8c9263/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Every state QRIS is different
States use various approaches to include Head Start
• Alignment• Reciprocity• Alternative pathways
Models for Participation
![Page 9: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org March 21](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021514/5b1457bc7f8b9a487c8c9263/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Alignment
Align the state QRIS standards with HS Program Performance Standards.

Reciprocity
Programs receive reciprocity in QRISs for meeting existing Head Start Program Performance Standards.
Options: Come in at a higher level in QRIS or be awarded points without having to go through data collection or rating processes.
![Page 11: Let’s Talk - Homepage | QRIS National Learning Network · Let’s Talk Host -Debi Mathias Director, QRIS National Learning Network dmathias@buildinitiative.org March 21](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021514/5b1457bc7f8b9a487c8c9263/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alternative Pathway
Programs in good standing enter the QRIS at a different level than a child care program.
Example: A Head Start enters at a level 3 as opposed to starting at level 1.
