For Practioners
WFC has created materials specifically for practitioners. In addition, some of our publications and reports will be of interest.
Ready Educators Quality Improvement Pilot Toolkit
This Toolkit was developed for the Ready Educators Quality Improvement Pilot (REQIP) to describe key features of REQIP, tools for working with programs and with Technical Assistance Providers, and the challenges and lessons learned during the two pilot years (2013-2015).
Ready Educators Quality Improvement Pilot (REQIP) Outcome Evaluation
This report provides an outcome evaluation of REQIP, with an emphasis on child outcomes, as well as observations of the REQIP educators, and documentation of progress at both the program and system level.
A Toolkit for Teachers of Preschool Children: Promoting Language and Literacy in the Classroom
This Toolkit was developed by REQIP to give teachers new ideas to try out in their classrooms as well as the “why” behind the ideas. It gives tips on how to create a language rich environment and how to promote literacy and language skills in the classroom.
With the Children's Investment Fund and the National Institute on Out of School Time, WFC developed standards for physical facilities that house ECE and out-of-school-time programs.
The physical environment is a dimension of quality that is often overlooked, yet it is the setting where learning takes place, and it has a measurable impact on program quality. The Children’s Investment Fund commissioned the Facilities Inventory, an assessment of early childhood education (ECE) and out-of-school-time (OST) facilities.
