The Los Angeles Universal Preschool ASPIRE program is the CARES Plus program for Los Angeles County. The ASPIRE program supports the completion of permits, coursework, and degrees, and the increased quality of teaching practices of early childhood education professionals. To reach these outcomes, the ASPIRE program offers one-on-one advisement, on-line CLASS trainings, and financial incentives to participants. In addition, the ASPIRE program collaborates with other organizations and institutions of higher education in Los Angeles County through the Los Angeles County Early Care and Education Workforce Consortium. The collaboration between the ASPIRE program and the Workforce Consortium is focused on developing a more coordinated and effective professional development system for early childhood educators. The anticipated long-term impacts of the ASPIRE program, as well as the larger Workforce Consortium, are that early childhood education professionals in Los Angeles County will be better equipped to deliver high-quality services to children and families, and will experience greater rates of career advancement and retention in the field as a result of their qualifications. The ASPIRE program is funded through grants from First 5 California and First 5 LA. This evaluation summarizes the program and participant outcomes, and poses recommendations for future program implementation based on information gathered during the program year. (author abstract)
