Investigating the Impact of a State-Wide Unified Professional Development System on Quality Environments and Child Outcomes A study building on the current evaluation of the state KIDS NOW Initiative by conducting research investigating the degree to which a statewide unified professional development system impacts the educational level of early care and education providers and subsequent classroom quality. The influence of these indicators are examined to determine their impact on child outcomes. The research design includes a multi-site, mixed-methods design with 213 centers, 265 classrooms and teachers that represent three types of classroom settings (child care, Head Start, and state preschool). Child level outcome data are collected on 357 4-year-old children across settings. The primary objective of this research is to determine: (1) the degree to which a unified professional development system developed at the state level results in positive child outcomes; and (2) the degree to which the educational level of early care and education providers enhances the quality of classroom environments. |
