High quality standards are being set with BA requirements and deadlines 100% of Public School Preschool teachers have a BA or higher, only 18% of Center and Head Start teachers in Charlestown/North End currently have a BA What do we not know? Suspect certain barriers exist: “non-traditional students”, English as a second language, cost, time, courses and certificates that don’t matriculate What percentage of teachers are currently enrolled in a degree-granting program? What are best practices for supporting non-traditional students to earn higher education degrees? What are we doing to support the current and future workforce to earn higher education degrees? What data do we need to make these decisions?

    37. Universal Voluntary High Quality Preschool Capacity for UPK: Is the current capacity being maximized? How much does capacity need to expand? Who will expand? By when must they expand? Qualified workforce: Higher education degrees Expanding the workforce as capacity expands Integrating child care and early education Boston and its’ process A process will need to be developed that incorporates education about the issues, collaborative decision-making, and advocacy.
