Abstract	In fall 2003, the Head Start Bureau began implementing the Head Start National Reporting System (NRS) to systematically assess the early literacy, language and numeracy skills of all 4- and 5-year-olds enrolled in Head Start. In addition to child progression on a designated set of outcomes during the year preceding kindergarten, the data will provide the Bureau with information that can be used to enhance its current program monitoring system and develop targeted training and technical assistance. This summary highlights: (1) Design and Development History of NRS; (2) Four-Component NRS Assessment Process (Comprehension of Spoken English, Vocabulary, Letter Naming and Early Math Skills); (3) Development of the Computer-Based Reporting System (CBRS); (4) NRS Quality Assurance and System Development Project; (5) Assessment Quality; (6) Training Assessors at the Local Program Level; (7) Local Approaches to Implementing the NRS; (8) Using the CBRS; (9) Using NRS for Local Program Improvement; (10) Perspectives of Local Staff on NRS; and (11) Implications for NRS Improvement.
