The T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® National Center (TEACH) supports early childhood organizations in 23 states and Washington, DC. They provide training, research, management tools, and technical assistance. TEACH works with states to advance advocacy, strategies, policy, and funding for: access to early childhood degrees, increased compensation, and improved workforce retention.
Alliance-Funded Support for Sate Advocacy
- In response to the pandemic’s impact on the ECE system, TEACH will work with teams from seven states to develop policy recommendations, execute advocacy strategies, and implement solutions that improve and/or stabilize the (1) educational advancement, (2) compensation and/or (3) recruitment and retention of the early education workforce. Two of these states – New Jersey and South Carolina – will be extending their participation in this project into a second year.
