Early educators’ poor working conditions are not inevitable, but a product of policy choices. With or without new federal funding, state leaders have the power and authority to advance policies to support the ECE workforce.
In this webinar, we learned how messages and findings from CSCCE’s latest Early Childhood Workforce Index can be used to drive policy change that centers the experiences of early educators in your state. The Index has provided a state-by-state look at policies and conditions affecting the ECE workforce since 2016.
The panel included:
Dr. Caitlin McLean, Director of Multi-State and International Programs, Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
Sophia Jaggi, Research Manager, Early Childhood Policy, Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
Arabella Bloom, Associate Director of Technical Assistance, Center for the Study of Child Care Employment
Jacob Vigil, Deputy Policy Director, New Mexico Voices for Children
