18 Anticipated Challenges

1 How will we coordinate ongoing communication with cohort members and those supporting them?

2 How will we align schedules and locate services that work for cohort families?

3 What outcomes should we be tracking to demonstrate impact and continuously improve?

4 How can we ensure that Head Start Family Advocates have adequate time to support cohort members?
