Pooling Data to Answer Questions• Needs assessment was adapted
from federally funded Crosswalks project
• Data pooled among 5 grantees• Northampton Community College• Tacoma Community College• University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill• University of Toledo• Western Oregon University
• 2 programs administered a 36-item survey while the other 3 administered a 28-item survey
![Page 7: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Overview of Needs Assessment
• Survey has 3 sections: EC and EI Content Areas, Instructional Strategies and Demographics
• EC and EI Content: Using a scale of 1 (Low) -5 (High), respondents indicated their current level of knowledge, emphasis on ECSE content in the courses they teach, knowledge of where to access resources related to ECSE content, and comfort teaching the content with regard to the statements
• Instructional Strategies: Using a scale of 0 (None) – 5 *High), respondents indicated their skills and emphasis on ECSE content and skills in the courses they teach
![Page 8: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Who were the Participants?• 116 early childhood faculty from 12 community
colleges in North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington
• #s of faculty respondents in each of the CCs surveyed ranged from 3 to 51
• The demographics of the faculty were similar to findings from national surveys (Early & Winton, 2001; Maxwell, Lim & Early, 2006)
![Page 9: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Faculty Knowledge and Skills: Top Areas of Need
• Using AT to enhance children’s development and access to natural learning opportunities
• Using AT to enhance children’s participation in the general curriculum
• Implementing transition plans Knowledge of relevant state and federal regulations
• Using EBPs in EI and ECSE• Embedded intervention strategies• Using data from progress monitoring• Implementing IFSPs and IEPs• Implementing social/emotional intervention strategies• Implementing instructional intervention strategies

Research Question
What is the relationship between faculty members' knowledge, skills and comfort level related to ECSE topical areas and the degree to which they are addressing those areas in Community College program coursework in ECE ?
![Page 11: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Using AT to Enhance Children’s Access to Natural Learning Opportunities
• Levels of emphasis in courses taught were correlated to knowledge and skills (r(113) = .56, p <.01) as well as to comfort level (r(95) = .37, p<.01) .

Early childhood inclusion embodies the values, policies, and practices that support the right of every infant and young child and his or her family, regardless of ability, to participate in a broad range of activities and contexts as full members of families, communities, and society. The desired results of inclusive experiences for children with and without disabilities and their families include a sense of belonging and membership, positive social relationships and friendships, and development and learning to reach their full potential. The defining features of inclusion that can be used to identify high quality early childhood programs and services are access, participation, and supports.

Change and the Need for Transfer
• PD involves change
• Transfer - implementing skills occurs in the setting
• Transfer does not automatically happen
• New skill has to be changed to meet needs in the setting
![Page 50: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Use of Persona• Faculty developed persona of a typical
scholar in their program:• Provides project team with clear
understanding of comprehension level of scholars
• Provide materials that are appealing and appropriate for reading level and knowledge acquisition
![Page 51: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Action Plans to Go
• Faculty completed action plans:• Intended outcomes• Activities to achieve outcomes• Timeline• Person responsible
![Page 52: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Intentional Assignments• Make sure that every
component of the course syllabus is aligned and consistent with goals and objectives of the course
• Be specific about course assignments—make sure that they reflect the course goals and objectives
• Instead of adding new goals and objectives to a course, embed EI/ECSE content into existing course components
![Page 54: Good, Better, Best Professional Development Resources That Support Each Young Learner](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070419/56815b62550346895dc94bb9/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Designing a Follow-up Support Plan
• Provides opportunity to:• answer question about implementation• address problems• collect implementation data
• Use evaluation measures, instruments, procedures on-going during the year
