NAEYC SUBMITS COMMENTS WITH OTHERS ON DRAFT CRITERIA FOR EARLY LEARNING CHALLENGE GRANTS
The Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Education released draft criteria for state applications for the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grants and provided a short period for public comments. The Administration has said that applications should become available by the end of the summer with a quick turnaround for submitting applications.
NAEYC, together with several organizations, submitted its comments which you can read here.
RESOURCES ON STATE ADVISORY COUNCILS ON EARLY CARE & EDUCATION
NAEYC has added a page to our website on State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care here. It provides a compilation of a variety of resources which will be updated as more become available for Councils, practitioners, policymakers and other interested parties relating to the required areas of work for State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education. We hope it proves useful to your work.
