With the passage of Senate Bill 1629, California established a new advisory body to develop policy and an implementation plan for an Early Learning Quality Improvement System. The goal of the committee is to improve outcomes for children and reduce California's school readiness gap by improving the quality of early learning and care programs.

The Early Learning Quality Improvement System Advisory Committee (ELQIS) has 13 members. Each member is also a Chair or Co-Chair of various subcommittees charged with clarifying issues, outlining possible alternatives and presenting likely results.

CAEYC leadership, public policy committee and staff are attending the ELQIS meetings. Below is a brief update on the process and emerging issues from the subcommittees.

Design
This subcommittee is examining how a quality improvement rating system will look and function. Existing requirements (licensing, Title 5 and Title 22), third party accreditations, size ratios, educational level and more are all being discussed in the creation of a draft model. [more information]

Finance
This subcommittee is working on the determining how to finance the operation of a quality improvement rating system. Examination of current finance models has been done. This subcommittee will become increasingly active in 2010 once a draft system is more complete. [more information]

Workforce
This subcommittee is developing professional standards and a delivery system related to professional development that are linked to quality learning standards and financial incentives for enhanced training. This group is looking at: [more information]

  • Possible combining of professional standards for Title 22 and Title 5
  • How we set the minimum professional standards for all ECE programs
  • What alternatives should be considered
  • What defines a "quality" teacher
  • How to create career pathways with multiple points of entry into the field
  • Ways to improve compensation via this system
  • Ways to make ECE education accessible to all

Data
This subcommittee's purpose is to identify information about current child, family, teacher, and program level data systems for children from birth to five years old, and identify attributes of data systems that will support continuous program improvement linked to better outcomes for children, reduced school readiness gaps, and improved school success. [more information]

Engagement and Outreach for Families, Providers, and Public
This subcommittee is charged with: 1) developing a communication plan to ensure broad input on the QRS design, and 2) developing an engagement and outreach plan for families, programs/providers, stakeholders, and the public for California's 'rating structure and process' and support systems. [more information]
