ERSEA for Decision Makers
The importance of being able to successfully lead and manage ERSEA processes cannot be overemphasized. Many programs find themselves, at the beginning of the new enrollment year, either under-enrolled or with a waiting list too small to fill the vacancies that occur during the programs enrollment year. Many of these problems arise because ERSEA processes have not been lead and managed effectively. Recent GAO reports illustrate additional problems and challenges that arise as a result of inefficient management systems that support ERSEA process, ie suspected fraud in local programs. Some programs fail to set realistic goals and compound this error by their failure to successfully monitor, track, and document each step of this complex process. Fortunately, the problems that exist are solvable and this training can assist decision makers in a process that will radically improve local head start and early head programs management performance.
