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. In this webinar, we’ll explore how state quality systems are evolving to define, measure and support quality more meaningfully – and what those changes mean. We’ll examine how conversational turns, a key indicator of quality in early childhood settings, can provide actionable insights that drive meaningful improvements in teaching and learning.
