This report summarizes the activities of the State Advisory Councils on Early Childhood Education and Care that were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The legislation required that recipient states and territories engage in seven activities: conduct needs assessments, address federal-state coordination, increase program participation and outreach, assess the capacity and effectiveness of higher education opportunities for staff, and establish recommendations for early learning standards, data collection, and professional development systems. For each of these seven activities, national trends have been identified based on the activity reports of multiple states. Additionally, the activities and accomplishments within each state and territory are profiled.
