This year we redesigned the program to have what we call a children's enrichment teacher for each school paid by Even Start funds. These teachers work with the classroom teachers of Even Start students to enrich services for Even Start children. Sometimes they work with students before or after school or in pull out, but usually they go right into the classrooms and work along side the classroom teachers. They also take the Even Start parents to visit their children's classrooms and have a brief and debrief before and after the visit. We do PACT in our Even Start classroom after school 2 days a week. The children join their parents to work on our computers, help each other with homework, or play learning games. When we do our team planning every classroom teacher that has an Even Start child can not plan with us, but the children's enrichment teachers do and since they are in constant contact with the classroom teachers and in and out of the classrooms daily they help integrate the components by suggesting parenting topics and appropriate learning activities for PACT based on what is happening in the children's classrooms. This works well for us. Jane Meyer Canton, Ohio meyer_j@ccsdistrict.org
