Summary

States that get a grant must check how the grant-funded work performed. They must evaluate six things: how well the work met State goals; how a career ladder or path affected people working in early childhood programs; how licensing or regulation for those workers was affected; how the State plan affected the quality of education, training, and professional development for early childhood programs; how pay and staff retention changed; and how the workers’ demographic makeup changed. At the end of the grant, each State must send a report of that evaluation to the Secretary. By September 30, 2013, the Secretary, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, must prepare and send an evaluation of the States’ reports to the authorizing committees.
