Using the five policy areas from the Center of the Study of Child Care Employment‘s (CSCCE) Early Childhood Workforce Index as a framework, this series activates early childhood leaders to strengthen the early care and education (ECE) workforce through innovations in policies, programs, working conditions, compensation, and professional development.
In the fourth webinar of this series, participants will think about application and action in two policy areas—work environments and qualifications & educational supports. The webinar discusses how to support ECE leaders to use their roles, responsibilities, and authority to develop policies, practices, and programs to increase opportunity, and remove barriers in the two policy areas.
Participants will apply processes, strategies, and tools to work environments and qualifications & educational supports and consider multiple levels of change, build effective networks, use data, listen to the workforce, and strengthen cross-systems work in these two policy areas.
