Early Learning Evidence-Based Practices in Idaho- Inactive

Regional Educational Laboratory Northwest supported the West Central Mountains Early Learning Advisory Committee as they focused on enhancing access and quality of early care and education to improve early literacy learning for kindergarten readiness. To achieve this goal, the partnership supported continuous improvement around implementing evidence-based practices by articulating the committee’s early learning initiative objectives and creating a plan to evaluate evidence-based programming for early literacy.

Partnership Organizations: West Central Mountains Early Learning Advisory Committee

Completed Projects

The West Central Mountains Early Learning Advisory Committee (WCM ELAC) sought to enhance the quality of early care and education in its region to increase early literacy and the readiness of children entering kindergarten. To support this goal, REL Northwest guided ELAC leaders through a capacity-building process to develop a logic model and evaluation plan to guide the initiative's work and monitor its outcomes.

REL Northwest will train and support the West Central Mountains Early Learning Advisory Committee (WCM ELAC) in strategies for conducting a community needs assessment focused on early learning. REL Northwest will provide training and technical assistance to WCM ELAC as it updates its needs assessment strategies and tools. WCM ELAC will then implement the needs assessment to gather data to inform its early childhood programming efforts and to update its logic model, strategic plan, and evaluation plan.
