What’s Next for Quality Improvement? Lessons from Recent Research
This session was presented during the BUILD 2022 National Conference.
Participants will hear new findings from two national studies – The Study of Coaching Practices in Early Care and Education (SCOPE) and the Culture of Continuous Learning (CCL) on the latest trends in coaching and methods to promote practice change in early care and education settings. SCOPE researchers will share findings of a longitudinal, multi-state cohort of coaches and coaching participants from 2019-2021. CCL researchers will describe a method aimed at helping programs build their capacity for continuous improvement and make sustained changes in evidence-based practices. The presenters and the discussant will consider the implications for quality improvement systems post-COVID.
