Report of Year 1 Quality Counts survey findings

Description:
Quality Counts (QC) is a quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) and professional development initiative in Miami-Dade County, Florida. This system is designed and funded by The Children's Trust, the Early Learning Coalition (ELC) of Miami-Dade/Monroe, and the Early Childhood Initiative Foundation/Ready Schools Miami. The Children's Trust has contracted with researchers from the FPG Child Development Institute (FPG) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to conduct a three-year evaluation of the implementation of Quality Counts. The first year of the evaluation has focused on obtaining the perceptions of key stakeholders as well as directors, teachers, and families about Quality Counts (QC) and other related issues. Information was also obtained from Non-Quality Counts (NQC) directors and families. This report summarizes director, teacher, and parent survey results conducted by FPG's evaluation of Quality Counts. All Year 1 survey data are reflected in this report. Where possible, responses from Quality Counts (QC) and Non-Quality Counts (NQC) respondents are displayed in the same table. The cumulative percent for some tables do not total 100 due to some questions allowing more than one response, rounding, or missing information. The nesting of teachers and parents within programs is not accounted for in this report, meaning that in some cases multiple respondents may be involved with the same program. Any reference to differences between QC and NQC participants does not imply that significance testing was conducted. (author abstract)
