Martinez, Kenneth A.; Arenas, Soledad
This summary of the presentation given at four Head Start Regional Bilingual/Multicultural Conferences consists of materials related to the Head Start Strategy for Spanish-speaking Children. Keynote addresses focus on Head Start policy implications, the future of Head Start in the 1980s, and the relation of bilingual/bicultural programs to the Head Start Program. Papers presented include descriptions of assessment efforts and explorations of the application of early childhood theories to bilingual/multicultural children. Also included are research studies as well as curriculum development and evaluation efforts. Guides for training staff to meet the special needs of bilingual/multicultural children, descriptions of a resource center network, and an exploration of leadership styles are also provided. It is hoped that the information contained in the report will give the reader a better understanding of the issues associated with early childhood bilingual/multicultural education. (Author/RH)
