Racing to the top: Maryland's promising practices in family engagement

Description:
Maryland has used its Race to the Top--Early Learning Challenge funding to convene a Family Engagement Coalition consisting of child care and family support providers from a wide range of sectors and across the state. This diverse body has committed to a series of ambitious and measurable goals for family engagement and is incrementally building the capacity of stakeholders to achieve them. Capacity-building efforts such as training and technical assistance from the Maryland Family Network and the federally supported Maryland Head Start Training and Technical Assistance Program (T/TA) allow the state of Maryland not only to scale up family engagement approaches like Healthy Beginnings and the Strengthening Families Protective Factors, but also to pilot and launch new initiatives. Most promising of all, the Race to the Top--Early Learning Challenge grant has enabled Maryland to build the necessary infrastructure to ensure that every family in the state benefits from a sustained, consistent family engagement strategy implemented by well-trained, skilled early childhood providers.
