This Spring 2016 Formative Report focuses on the period of January-May 2016 and examines progress in the areas of (1) program quality, including teacher background, beliefs, and practices; (2) training and technical assistance from state partners to VPI+ division coordinators, coaches, and family engagement coordinators; and (3) local coaching and professional development, including data on the type, intensity, and content of professional development and perceptions regarding how well professional development and coaching are meeting teachers' needs. Key findings on implementation of these three areas are summarized below. The full report also describes facilitators of and barriers to implementation and recommendations for further strengthening implementation. (author abstract)
