TEACH Research Initiative

The TEACH Program addresses the problems of poor education, low compensation, and high turnover in the child care sector by providing early childhood professional development opportunities for teachers, directors, and family child care providers. Since the Program went statewide in 1998, a database has been maintained with data on each participant. Analysis of three-year program data will enable Forum staff, teachers, educators, and policymakers to become educated on TEACH recipients, coursework, and classroom outcomes.
