Description:
This resource was prepared in response to a request from a Race to the Top -- Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) State for information about how RTT-ELC States are incorporating programs that have met benchmarks for quality in early care and educations through accreditation into their tiered quality rating and improvement systems (TQRIS). ELC TA reviewed the 2014 Annual Performance Report (APR) data that the RTT-ELC States submitted to the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services in the spring of 2015 as well as State websites and other national resources. This resource has information about accreditation and TQRIS as indicators of quality, strategies that RTT-ELC States are using to incorporate accredited programs into their TQRIS, and a list of national and State resources. The Appendix lists specific information about how each of the States incorporates accreditation into their TQRIS. (author abstract)
