1 Career Pathways in ECE and T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood : A Critical Link NGA - Leveraging Workforce Investment Strategies to Improve the ECE Workforce February 24, 2016, Phoenix, AZ

2 Presentation Agenda Career Pathways What are they? Do they exist in ECE? T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood What is it? Why is it needed? How is it enabling ECE Career Pathways?

3 The Vision Every child in an early childhood setting has a teacher who is well educated and well compensated. Every early childhood teacher has access to affordable college education, workforce supports and continuing professional development on a pathway to valued, sustained employment.

4 Career Pathways Provide comprehensive education and training Include coaching/counseling Align with the needs of employers, consumers and regulators Produce recognized credentials Lead to a ladder of jobs differentiated by knowledge, skills and compensation Build a skilled workforce

5 Career Pathways in Nursing: A Model RN/BA Nurse Practitioner RN/AS CNA LPN Defined education/competencies at each level Widely available educational opportunities Nationally understood definitions National examination Required continuing education Increasing compensation at each level moderated by auspice

6 ECE Teacher Pathways by Role Asst. Teacher Teacher Master Teacher Qualifications defined by employer and/or regulatory agency Job knowledge, skills and responsibility vary by role Compensation increases by role (and auspice)

7 ECE Teacher Pathways by Setting Child Care Head Start Pre-K Qualifications for teachers defined by system standards Compensation typically increases by setting

8 ECE Pathways by Role Change Teacher Director or PD/TA Consultant System Leader Job knowledge, skills and responsibility vary by role Compensation increases by role (and auspice) Jobs in and outside direct ECE settings

9 ECE Educational Pathways CDA Credential AAS in ECE BS in ECE BS in ECE with Teacher Licensure NBC in Early Childhood The Key to ECE Role and Career Pathways

10 T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood Overview Debt-free college education with comprehensive supports for the working early childhood professional Systemic driver that leverages a more accessible, responsive higher education system to support an education and career pathway for the early childhood workforce Multi-state collaborative and accountable strategy to increase the knowledge, skills, compensation and career commitment of a diverse early childhood workforce Employer-employee partnered dollars linked with public and/or private funds raised in each state to support early childhood workforce development Evidenced-based scholarship model that produces measurable results

11 T.E.A.C.H. Scholarship Components Compensation College Education Counselor Comprehensive Scholarship 5 Cs Commitment 11

12 Types of Scholarships CDA Assessment/Renewal State Credential Associate Degree Bachelor Degree Teaching License Practicum/Student Teaching Master s Degree and more

13 Eligibility Eligibility for participation varies by state, role and scholarship model. The typical criteria requires the teaching workforce to Work at least 30 hours/week in licensed setting Earn less than defined income cap, Have support of employer, Be willing to commit to contract, education and sponsor, and Be able to pay share of education costs.

14 Profile of Recipients Required Teachers in child care, Head Start and Pre-K Family child care educators Early childhood program administrators Optional Home visitors/interventionists Professional development consultants Technical assistance consultants Licensing consultants Community early childhood agency leadership

15 Why the T.E.A.C.H. Model? Children need educated, effective teachers. Teachers and directors need the knowledge and skills to do their job well. The workforce cannot afford the full cost of time and money to earn the needed education. The needed education must carry educational currency to advance individual learning, earnings and career potential.

16 Why the T.E.A.C.H. Model? Increasingly states are requiring credentials and degrees in early childhood education as part of their QRIS. Head Start teachers are required to have a bachelor s degree in early childhood. The vast majority of state-funded pre-k programs require early childhood credentials or degrees.

17 Recommendation 2 Develop and implement comprehensive pathways and multiyear timelines for transitioning to a minimum bachelor s degree qualification requirement, with specialized knowledge and competencies, for all lead educators working with children from birth through age 8.

18 Barriers to Achieving a Degreed Early Childhood Workforce Individual Employer Institutions of Higher Education Larger Early Care and Education System

19 Entering Students Experience with Academic Advisement An advisor helped me identify the courses I needed to take during my first semester/quarter. 71% An advisor helped me to select a course of study, program or major. 60% An advisor helped me to set academic goals and to create a plan for achieving them. 38% A college staff member talked with me about my commitments outside of school (work, children, dependents, etc.) to help me figure out how many courses to take. 26%

20 Why the T.E.A.C.H. Model? ECE Workforce Women, with own children Low income Full-time employees Racially, ethnically and linguistically diverse Without ECE degrees Few workplace benefits High turnover College Non-Completer Has dependent children Needs financial assistance Works full time Is first generation college student Attends part time Is single parent Is financially independent from parents

21 What Types of Funding Have Supported T.E.A.C.H. Programs? CCDBG Quality Set Aside TANF funds Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge State general funds State Pre-K funds State tobacco settlement or lottery funds Local government funds Foundations United Way Corporate Sponsor and recipient partnered funds
