Early Education Essentials: Illustrations of Strong Organizational Practices in Programs Poised for Improvement. Snapshot
Pacchiano, Debra M.; Wagner, Maureen R.; Lewandowski, Holly
Ounce of Prevention Fund
The new Early Education Essentials measurement system, developed by the Ounce of Prevention Fund (Ounce) and the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research (UChicago Consortium), offers the field a reliable and valid way to measure, attend to and strengthen these conditions critical to improvement. This innovative resource includes teacher/staff and parent surveys, as well as data-use and improvement tools. A team of researchers from the Ounce and the UChicago Consortium spent three consecutive days in four early childhood education (ECE) sites whose teacher/staff and parent survey responses to the "Early Education Essentials" surveys indicated that their essential supports were either very strongly organized or very weakly organized. Differences in their organizational climates and conditions were unmistakable. Well-organized programs created organizational contexts far more supportive of teaching, learning, and family engagement than programs that were weakly organized. This Snapshot highlights the study's overview, findings, and conclusions and implications. [This Snapshot was written with Stacy B. Ehrlich and Amanda G. Stein. For the full study, see ED593623.]
