The Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) approached the Alliance to partner on a project to conduct a comprehensive mapping of school-age credentials, training, Core Knowledge and Competencies, and workforce data tracked in registries and specific to the school-age workforce. The overall goals of this project were to: 1. Provide NCASE with useful and reliable information on the state of the school-age workforce to be used in future publications and other TA services; 2. Research the state of the field through engagement with state-level leaders and advocates and help foster a better understanding of NCASE’s role and services; 3. Build a deeper working relationship between the Alliance and NCASE to better serve the field. (author abstract)
