To fill this gap, a study was developed that would conduct systematic surveys of recent graduates of early childhood college degree programs (i.e., AA or BA) who had been supported by T.E.A.C.H. scholarships. These surveys would allow investigators to follow these graduates prospectively for up to three years, receiving reports from them every six months about their employment, wages, career trajectory, professional development and other work and life situations. Using these data, it will be possible to develop a more thorough portrait of T.E.A.C.H. graduates’ accomplishments and experiences. This report is the first in a series of reports that will flesh out that portrait by drawing on these data. (author abstract)
