Nevada Chosen as National Example
Posted Thursday, October 14, 2010 by Mike McDowell
The National Governor's Association (NGA), Center for Best Practices is part of the Early Childhood Data Collaboration (ECDC), a consortium with several other national organizations, to support states in developing coordinated, longitudinal early care and education data systems. They are currently finalizing a white paper that will describe the "10 Essential Components of a Coordinated Early Care and Education Data System” and chose Nevada to serve as a good example of a state that has a unique early care and education workforce identifier (one of the 10 components). The white paper will include the following information about Nevada:
"In Nevada, a recent state law requires that all caregivers who work in licensed ECE settings, including family child care, participate in The Nevada Registry, a statewide career development and recognition system. When this requirement is fully phased in by late 2012, state policymakers will have a non-duplicated list of individuals in the ECE workforce as well as valuable data about the workforce as a whole".
