The Early Childhood Personnel Center (ECPC) surveyed state Part C and Part B/619 Coordinators. Part C Coordinators were contacted through the IDEA Infant and Toddler Coordinators Association (ITCA). Both Part C and Part B/619 Coordinators were asked to respond to a brief survey about recruitment and retention efforts for early intervention (EI) and early childhood special education (ECSE) personnel in their states. Specifically, the survey included three primary questions: (1) Do you feel that recruitment and retention of EI (Part C) or ECSE (Part B/619) personnel is a concern in your state?; (2) Do the EI (Part C) or ECSE (Part B/619) personnel across your state represent the background characteristics and diversity of the families enrolled and receiving services?; and (3) Are you using any innovative and/or effective recruitment and retention strategies to increase the background characteristics and diversity of EI (Part C) or ECSE (Part B/619) personnel in your state? Open-ended, follow-up questions were included for each primary question. In addition, respondents were given an opportunity to share other comments about shortages of EI/ECSE personnel in their states, either via an open-ended survey item, or follow-up phone interview. The goals of the survey were to (a) describe the national EI/ECSE personnel landscape and (b) identify effective and innovative strategies being used in state programs to recruit and retain EI/ECSE personnel who have diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, or other backgrounds across discipline categories.
