Helping Early Educators Thrive

Inspiring growth, making an impact.

The most impactful investments in early childhood education support and uplift the heart of the field: early educators. Rather than focusing solely on evaluation, professional development investments should both inspire educators with relevant, practical instruction, and provide actionable, job-embedded data. In short, PD should help educators thrive: inspiring growth while also helping them stick around.

Free Webinar:
The Right Way To Invest in Early Childhood Educators

July 30 at 1:00pm ET

What really works in supporting the early childhood workforce? Let’s explore together. We’ll start by learning what inspires educators to improve, and what helps them thrive. Then we’ll explore how targeted, supportive PD that focuses on what matters to educators leads to greater job satisfaction, better retention, and improved outcomes.

We’ll also examine how job-embedded data can make PD more impactful. Through actionable data, transparency, and timely feedback, we get a roadmap for success and a clear return on our investment.

In collaboration with leaders from the Council for Professional Recognition and across the early childhood industry, this conversation is for everyone invested in the future of early childhood education — for program leaders, classroom teachers, and policy or funding decision-makers. Join us as we explore how to inspire educators to do their best work.

Free Webinar: Interaction Data as Quality Systems Evolve

Every state’s quality system is designed to answer an important question: is a program providing high-quality care and learning experiences for children?

Yet quality is a moving target — in how it’s defined, how it’s measured, how it’s communicated, what it means for children in the classroom. As states evolve their approaches – some using rating systems and others emphasizing continuous quality improvement – understanding the indicators that matter most has never been more important.
