This report shares findings from interviews conducted with head teachers in PreK for All (PKA) settings as part of a multiple case study project that sought to examine the adoption of authentic assessment systems (AAS) in PKA settings. A purpose of this work is to demonstrate how teachers find and use effective assessment strategies to support their pedagogical decision-making. Additionally, findings reveal the benefits and tensions in using AAS. A primary goal of this study was to amplify teachers’ voices to gain deeper understandings of their roles as policy enactors. In alignment with systems building, a broader public investment in early care and education requires that the early care and education ECCE community examine the factors that increase the retention of members of the workforce.
