Description:
This policy brief explores the implementation of Massachusetts's Early Learning Plan built around four key objectives: 1. Expanding, supporting, and sustaining Coordinated Family and Community Engagement (CFCE) programs that work directly with families; 2. leveraging Head Start resources in order to train 320 people in family engagement by 2014; 3. promoting statewide public awareness campaigns for early childhood, including communicating in multiple languages; and 4. building a network across the state to develop and deliver training to family engagement providers using a train-the-trainers model. The brief begins with the collaborative planning process and then examines the efforts to build a sustainable infrastructure by carrying out the plan's four objectives. It describes evaluation and accountability processes and ends with reflections about future directions. (author abstract)
