In Pennsylvania, HeadsUp! Reading has been a unique public/private partnership between the Heinz Endowments, the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Office of Children, Youth and Families and the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit’s Center for Schools and Community’s Head Start State Collaboration Project (HSSCP). More than 60 HeadsUp! Network training sites have been installed across the state. The project is coordinated by the Head Start State Collaboration Office (HSSCO) at the Center for Schools and Communities whose mission is to strengthen the capacity of organizations serving children, youth and their families. Four HSSCP Regional Coordinators provide support and technical assistance to the Heads Up! Network sites statewide. Six colleges in the state offer credit for the course and leaders are working to ensure the project builds on the existing early literacy and professional development efforts in various parts of the state, and connects with state 2- and 4- year colleges.
