Evaluation of Ready2Teach, an Infant and Toddler Care Teacher Development Program in Los Angeles County.
This report provides insights from the first-year implementation of an infant and toddler care workforce development program. Our study found that effective strategies that a successful apprenticeship program might offer include flexible scheduling, a coaching system that provides timely and personalized support, hands-on experience and direct mentorship, culturally relevant teaching practices that integrate real-life examples and promote a sense of community among participants.
Improving the Infant and Toddler System of Care in Los Angeles: Lessons from the Field. The vast majority of ECE educators caring for infants and toddlers are immigrant women of color from low-income households, earning poverty-level wages. The need for this study was to learn about the experiences, successes, and challenges that form LA’s infant and toddler care and education landscape. The stories shared with us by parents, teachers, FCC owners, directors, and other leaders – those closest to the system – allowed us to connect ECE advocates with the experiences of our “proximity experts.” Our key goal is to ensure that a highly qualified and diverse workforce is able to thrive in the coming years. |
