FREE Power Hour: Updating Prioritizations: Keep Your Selection Process Current and Consistent
FREE Power Hour: Updating Prioritizations: Keep Your Selection Process Current and Consistent
2:00 – 3:00 PM ET
New Enrollment Cycle? Make Sure Your Prioritization Criteria Are Ready!
Are your agency's prioritization criteria still aligned with your current enrollment priorities? Join us for this FREE 60-minute GoEngage Power Hour to learn how to review and update your prioritization settings in GoEngage. We'll explore how to evaluate existing criteria, adjust point values and rules when appropriate, and check that your selection process is consistent with your agency's approved policies and current community needs. Whether you're preparing for a new program year or reviewing an existing process, this session will help your ERSEA team approach applicant prioritization with greater confidence and consistency.
Recommended Setup: For the best hands-on experience, we recommend using two screens or devices—one to watch the live Zoom session and another to work in GoEngage. A computer and tablet work great, too!

Why directors should send their staff:
Your Selection Process Is Only as Effective as the Criteria Behind It—and How Consistently They're Applied.
Your agency works hard to ensure enrollment opportunities reach the children and families who need them most. But when prioritization criteria are outdated, point values don't reflect approved policies, or staff aren't familiar with how the system is configured, even a well-intentioned selection process can lead to confusion and inconsistencies.
Are you confident that your team understands how GoEngage prioritizes applicants—and that your settings reflect your agency's current selection criteria?
This free GoEngage Power Hour gives your ERSEA and enrollment teams an opportunity to review an important part of the selection process before the next enrollment cycle.
Here's why you should encourage your staff to attend:
Support compliance with Head Start requirements. Help staff understand the importance of maintaining selection criteria that align with your agency's approved policies and the requirements of 45 CFR §1302.14.
Reduce the risk of outdated prioritization settings. Encourage your team to review existing criteria, point values, and rules rather than assuming the configuration established in a previous year is still appropriate.
Promote fair and consistent selection practices. Help ensure staff understand how approved prioritization criteria should be applied when considering eligible children and families for enrollment.
Respond to changing community needs. Give your ERSEA team an opportunity to consider whether current prioritization settings continue to reflect the needs identified through your agency's community assessment and enrollment planning.
Prevent avoidable enrollment delays. Reviewing settings before selection begins can help identify potential issues that might otherwise create confusion, require corrections, or slow down the process.
Strengthen collaboration between ERSEA and system administrators. Help the staff responsible for establishing selection criteria work more effectively with those responsible for configuring them in GoEngage.
Build staff confidence and accountability. Give employees a clearer understanding of how prioritization settings work, when updates may be needed, and why changes should follow established approval procedures.
Don't Wait Until Enrollment Selection Begins to Discover a Problem!
Your agency's prioritization criteria directly influence how eligible applicants are considered for available enrollment opportunities. That's too important to leave to outdated settings or assumptions about how the system works.
A proactive review can help your team approach the next enrollment cycle with greater confidence, consistency, and clarity.
And because this Power Hour is FREE, there's no reason to limit attendance to just one person!
Encourage your ERSEA Managers, Enrollment Specialists, Program Managers, and System Administrators to attend together. The staff who understand your agency's selection policies and the staff who maintain your GoEngage configuration should be working from the same playbook.
One Hour of Learning Can Help Your Agency Make More Consistent, Informed, and Confident Enrollment Decisions!
