  4. State Advisory Council on Early Learning and Care Why We Did This

  5. State Leadership • California Department of Education (CDE) • State Advisory Council on Early Learning and Care (SAC)

  6. CDE

  7. CDE Co-Chair and member of the SAC Houses the Early Education Support Division (EESD) Administered ARRA funds for CCELP planning process Coordinated with SAC and CCELP Planning Team to guide the process Communicated with statewide stakeholders on the process

  8. SAC • Existence of SAC required under Head Start Reauthorization Act of 2007 • Representatives appointed by Governor: • Co-Chairs from CDE and DSS • Members come from a variety of early childhood learning stakeholder groups, State Departments and agencies.

  9. Role of SAC • Conduct statewide needs assessments; • Identify opportunities for collaboration and coordination; • Assess the capacity of higher education institutions to prepare and support childhood educators; and • Develop a comprehensive state plan.

  10. SAC Recommendations • The SAC is required to make recommendations for: • Increasing participation in early learning and care • Establishing a unified data system • Supporting early childhood educators • Improving the State early learning standards

  11. Who Implements the CCELP Recommendations? The SAC is not charged with implementation. Implementation will need to happen through a collective effort of state, regional, and local networks, organizations, and individuals. Certain statewide policy changes require executive/legislative action.

  12. Developing the CCELP A state plan that is grounded in both research and substantial stakeholder involvement

  13. The CCELP Planning Team

  14. Timeline and Major Planning Work Early 2012: Meta-Analysis: Understanding and building upon recent early learning research and policies Summer – Fall 2012: Stakeholder Engagement: Listening to diverse stakeholders about challenges and opportunities throughout the state

  15. Timeline and Major Planning Work Winter 2012: Discovering themes from initial input and synthesizing input with research Winter 2012 – Spring 2013: Writing and refining the plan based on ongoing stakeholder feedback Summer – Fall 2013: Plan approved by SAC and published by CDE

  16. Meta-Analysis Conditions of Children Birth to Age Five and Status of Early Childhood Services in California is a synthesis of 81 California-based studies and policy reports regarding access to and quality of the state’s early learning and care programs conducted by the American Institutes for Research. The Meta-Analysis and webinar recordings of presentations on different sections are available at: http://glenpricegroup.com/ccelp/meta-analysis/

  17. Meta-Analysis • Used in: • CCELP stakeholder engagement activities as a foundation for soliciting input. • The CCELP as a research base for recommendations.

  18. Stakeholder Engagement

  19. Stakeholder Engagement • Designed and conducted by the Glen Price Group • More than 2,800 stakeholder responses collected • Included: • Key informant interviews (36) • Online stakeholder survey (768) • 4 regional in-person workshops (261) • Toolkit for 43 local and 8 virtual stakeholder meetings (1,151 participants) • Online feedback form to gather input on CCELP drafts (55) • Water Cooler (189) • SAC meetings (100)

  20. Stakeholder Engagement Report The Statewide Stakeholder Engagement Report is a synthesis of the results of engagement of early learning stakeholders throughout the state. The report is available at: http://glenpricegroup.com/ccelp/mainreport/

  21. The Plan • Sets a trajectory for the state that is grounded in both research and substantial stakeholder involvement • Focuses on principles rather than programs • Articulates key system drivers and essential elements

  22. Drivers and Elements Key Driversare broad areas of change that have ripple effects on all other elements of the system. Essential Elements are critical policy and infrastructure areas for a comprehensive early learning system in California. The CCELP is structured around 4 KeyDriversand 6 Essential Elements.

  23. 4 Key Drivers Access to Quality Early Learning Care Program-Level Continuous Improvement A Great Early Childhood Workforce Family Partnership

  24. 6 Essential Elements • Assessing and Meeting the Needs of Children • Supporting Dual Language Learners • Effective Data Practices • Food, Nutrition, and Physical Activity • Kindergarten Transition • Governance and Finance

  25. Core Recommendations • For each Key Driver and Essential Element • Together, act as a compass to guide California’s early learning system • Grounded in research and input from stakeholders • Informed by recommendations identified from the Meta-Analysis and prioritized by stakeholders during public engagement process

  26. Bringing the CCELP to Life • Incorporate CCELP recommendation into planned and ongoing ECE projects • Encourage and support key stakeholders to build upon the core CCELP recommendations and implement specific activities and policy changes

  27. Bringing the CCELP to Life Recently in 3 direct ways: Supporting access and quality through CA 2014-15 Budget Act (CCELP directly referenced) Early Head Start – Child Care Partnership grant (TA & Support / “north star” ) Recent CA Preschool Expansion Grant And…. Process of developing CCELP generated momentum and relationships

  28. Bringing the CCELP to Life • What are some ways you can help? • We need a concrete policy platform that draws from the CCELP • Get it off the shelf, share it and use it • Use CCELP as a foundation for suggesting policies • Inform your own organizational funding priorities (e.g. F5CA) • What else???

  29.
