Colorado Early Childhood Workforce Survey 2017: Executive summary

Description:

As part of the Transforming the Early Childhood Workforce in Colorado project, this study was designed to identify the strengths, gaps, and unmet needs in the workforce to help inform workforce recruitment, retention, and professional development efforts. This study surveyed 4,223 directors, assistant directors, teachers, and assistant teachers who worked in community-based ECE centers, Head Start centers, and public school-based ECE classrooms throughout Colorado serving children birth through five, and surveyed 496 family child care providers who provided home-based ECE services. This study sought to describe their basic demographic, educational, and workplace characteristics, to identify the barriers they experienced in accessing professional development and higher education, and to understand the personal, workplace, and policy factors associated with job turnover and early educator well-being.
