  1. Logic Model for Quality Rating and Improvement Systems Resources/ Inputs Activities Outputs Outcomes Long-term Impact Challenges Underlying Assumptions • Levels to Consider: • Systems • Markets • Programs • Families • Children Contextual Factors Evaluation

  2. Child Level Issues • What is the specific program theory of change (logic model) for child effects? (What are hypothesized mediation processes?) • Are the child-level measures valid within these child care settings and populations? • What specific kinds and sizes of child effects do we expect or demand from QRIS? When do we expect to see these effects? • What are our objectives when assessing children’s developmental status? (consider access to quality)

  3. Parent/Family Level Issues • Are parents aware of the QRIS system? Do they know its purpose? • How have parents learned about the system? • How do we assess the impact of QRIS on child care decision-making? • Are parents willing/able to pay more for higher quality care? • Is decision-making affected more in some types of families & less in others? Why?

  4. Program/Provider Level Issues • What specific aspects of program quality are likely to be affected by QRIS? How do we measure those aspects? • Do we have valid quality measures for different types of child care? For settings with children of different ages and backgrounds? For settings with children with special needs? • How do we assess program fidelity? Rate of provider advancement within the QRIS system? Incentives and barriers to provider enrollment and advancement? • Different types of providers: What is their experience within QRIS? • What aspects of the QRIS are associated with specific program outcomes? • How do we reach non-participating providers?

  5. Systems Questions • What is the state of our knowledge about systems change and how to measure it? • What drives systems change and infrastructure development to support QI? • How do we study these changes? • What are the leading measures? • Can systems level changes be measured at the family and child level? When?
