This workshop is for program individuals who have some understanding of NAEYC’s accreditation standards, criteria and process, but want more in-depth knowledge of how to prepare for the assessment of their groups through classroom observations and classroom portfolios. The focus will be on understanding in detail how group-specific evidence is evaluated by assessors during the site visit assessment, so teaching staff know how best to prepare themselves, their classroom environment, and their classroom portfolios. NAEYC Staff Assessors will share tips about common pitfalls, most challenging criteria, and must-see practices among the quality standards directly assessed in classrooms.

Early Childhood Workforce Data Systems
Early Childhood Workforce Data Systems: Data about the workforce, from the workforce and for the workforce
9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
This pre-Institute session is full to capacity.
State teams are invited to join a day long intensive meeting designed for early childhood advocates and stakeholders who are eager to be better equipped to participate in the development and use of state workforce data systems. Participants will build a deeper understanding about the power and potential of different sources of workforce data, how to use it to advance the profession, and how to advocate for increased workforce supports, including compensation, training and educational opportunities. State teams will explore how data can be used to tell a compelling story that moves policymakers and other stakeholders to take action. Existing and potential sources of data will be explored, along with new tools for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data about higher education and teaching. We will examine policy strategies to increase the inclusion of all members of the workforce in workforce data systems, and ensure that workforce data is part of states’ early childhood data systems. There may be a webinar for participating state teams on national workforce data in May to prepare for the Workforce Data Meeting in June. More information about this meeting will be available at: www.naeyc.org/policy/ecwsi#workforcedata
This meeting is sponsored by NAEYC’s Early Childhood Workforce Systems Initiative in partnership with the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment and the Early Childhood Data Collaborative, and funded by the Alliance for Early Success
