“The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is excited to announce the launch of Massachusetts StrongStart, an integrated system for supporting early educators and programs in providing high quality early education and care for young children.”
“Massachusetts StrongStart resources will include:
• Professional Development Centers that will provide training, technical assistance, career advising and coaching.
• Early Childhood Support Organizations that will provide targeted training and coaching to programs on higher quality standards.
• An Online Professional Development System that offers training, an educator registry, and a credentialing process.
“StrongStart will also support educator core knowledge and competencies, and program improvement through an interim Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS) and the next generation of QRIS: StrongStart to Program Quality.”
“As EEC rolls out Massachusetts StrongStart, we ask for your assistance in spreading the word. Please share this email with your programs, partners and peers, and encourage them to subscribe to EEC’s mailing list for future updates.”
