Miami-Dade Quality Counts workforce study: Early care and education research to practice brief 2015

Description:
To understand the nuances of the early childhood workforce in Miami-Dade County, a comprehensive workforce study was conducted and published in January 2011. Subsequently, workforce study updates have been conducted on an annual basis. The current study represents an update based on employment and education data available as of March 2015 for program sites receiving a rating through Quality Counts 2.0 and participating in the full Professional Development (PD) Services offered through the Quality Counts Career Center (QCCC) encompassing career advising and educational scholarships. Programs include child care centers and family child care homes (FCCHs). This study also provides information on how the workforce has changed since its initial entry into Quality Counts. The Professional Development Registry funded through the Quality Counts initiative includes a wealth of workforce information for Miami-Dade early care and education (ECE) teaching staff and directors at programs participating in Quality Counts, making it possible to understand the characteristics of the Quality Counts workforce and offer a picture of the influence of Quality Counts on ECE training opportunities and staff qualifications. The study questions along with a brief summary of the key findings associated with each question and recommendations going forward are presented in this Research to Practice Brief. (author abstract)
