Power to the Profession is a national collaboration working to define the early childhood profession by establishing a unifying framework for career pathways, knowledge and competencies, qualifications, standards, and compensation. This initiative is led by a National Task Force comprised of leaders from 15 national organizations, including ZERO TO THREE, who represent and engage with large groups of early childhood professionals (see Box 1). For more than 2 years, the Task Force met regularly to deliberate and come to consensus on shared recommendations for advancing the early childhood educator profession. ZERO TO THREE brought more than 40 years of professional development expertise and both cross-discipline and specific infant--toddler educator competencies into the initiative's discussions and work. More than 35 national organizations with systems-level influence on early childhood professionals also helped inform and guide the work of the Task Force, as Power to the Profession Stakeholders. Thousands of early childhood educators, researchers, experts, and other invested individuals also contributed to this process. Because the field of early childhood education has moved forward with broad ideas of professional preparation and development systems, it now increasingly explores simultaneous visioning and implementation realities and staging. The Power to the Profession initiative frames these opportunities at a key time when interest and evidence merge in support of early childhood education. How the field incorporates and implements the initiative's recommendations will be the ultimate test of efficacy.
