Part C and Part B/619 Staff

Develop leadership skills to:

  • Actively engage in broader early childhood initiatives
  • Use TA effectively
  • Build a more effective and sustainable state system that can support a competent early childhood workforce

We provide this opportunity through a 2-3 day learning institute and 1 year of follow up to implement an action plan with state teams comprised of the Part C and Part B (619) coordinator, an early childhood state administrator, a Higher Education Faculty from the State UCEDD, LEND, or an early childhood program and a Family representative who has had a child participate in the state early childhood intervention program.
