Centering Equity in Revisions and Redesign of Quality Improvement Systems

Synthesizing over 20 years of research and trends in quality improvement activities, the workforce, and licensing, this session elevated key findings and lessons learned that can inform rebuilding of more equitable and inclusive early care and education systems. Participants took a data walk with the presenters to experience the research findings and charted their own reactions and ideas for revisions. The presenters shared guidance that state and community teams can use for planning both small and large changes that can better support equitable experiences, environments, and outcomes for children, families and the early care and education workforce.
