Backbone of support

Economies of Scale

2023-12-15 17:39:03 UTC

Equitable access to PD for small and or rural counties.

2023-12-15 17:39:30 UTC

Is essential in getting Teaching Pyramid training affordable and scalable to all members in a region. Public, Private, FCC, FFN

2023-12-15 17:42:07 UTC

TCCAC has a home within R3

2023-12-15 17:43:03 UTC

2023-12-15 17:43:28 UTC

Regional PD opportunities; bonus when these are extended for registration through the Hub leads for potential statewide participation when able.

2023-12-15 17:44:11 UTC

Support with data systems and aligned network opportunities that include F5, R&R, LPC, UPK, and QCC leads

Relationships, cross county, cross agency and cross HUB

2023-12-15 17:44:33 UTC

A common goal/mission, shared outcomes. Time and structure to have the necessary conversations.

2023-12-15 17:45:36 UTC

2023-12-15 17:49:06 UTC

Method to support trainers in maintaining authorizations.

2023-12-15 18:00:35 UTC

flexibility to open offerings statewide, particularly when funded with state monies (e.g. professional development). Following regional prioritization.

2023-12-15 18:01:11 UTC

Messaging on Hubs can be varied due to the variance in how Hubs may operate across the state.

2023-12-15 18:01:41 UTC

Increased communication to understand the variance and uniqueness of each Region's operations.

2023-12-15 18:05:44 UTC

Consider modeling off the Expanded Learning state strucutre of support for ECE.

2023-12-15 18:05:58 UTC

Budget

The threat of no funding

2023-12-15 18:05:59 UTC

2023-12-15 18:06:23 UTC

Perception of need and/or lack of ongoing, continued support/funding

2023-12-15 18:06:48 UTC

Inability to sustain the data systems that have been established.

2023-12-15 18:08:58 UTC

Regional strucutres that differ from other state funded regional structures (i.e. Ca. County Superintendent regions).

2023-12-15 18:13:44 UTC

Advocate for a regional structure/need that is funded w/in CCDF input sessions, UPK MDG reporting input, and other opportunities as they arise.

2023-12-15 18:21:09 UTC

Regional contractor meetings;cross county collaborations of partners.

We are a communication chain both to our state partners from our locals and vice versa.

2023-12-15 20:31:08 UTC

CDE and CDSS should both fund hubs post IMPACT legacy. T/TA Support from the hub level would be equitable and accessible to all keeping away from the silos that are beginning to resurface with the lift and shift.

2023-12-15 20:37:08 UTC

Regional PL- Locals are able to offset their PD needs to the hub giving them the ability to focus their declining dollars on specific local training needs while the hub covers the standard needs/offerings like CLASS, ASQ/ASQ-SE, Trauma Informed Practices, Equity etc.

2023-12-15 20:39:39 UTC

We have always had to operate on the assumption that we are temporary. Thus threatening the pillar that we could fully become.

2023-12-15 20:43:55 UTC

An opportunity to re-imagine what quality assessment could look like through a deeper focus on equity.

2023-12-15 20:45:16 UTC

R & Rs have greater visibility therefore their funding is more secure. But, hubs are to the ECE community what R & R's are to parents/families.

2023-12-15 20:49:53 UTC

Hubs lift administrative burden off of the locals giving them more time and resources to meet local needs.

2023-12-15 20:53:22 UTC

Since the inception of hubs (with a pandemic in the middle, shifting from quality work to survival work) we have continued to evolve and produce ever changing quality work with little direction.

2023-12-15 20:57:11 UTC

Hubs are the conduit for bringing rural/urban/suburban counties together to learn from each other, share their resources and ideas as well as collaboration.

2023-12-15 21:00:50 UTC

We partner with and support other state initiatives.

2023-12-15 21:05:45 UTC

Trainings developed via state funds should be funneled through the hubs, through a ToT and delivered to participants as this is a much more cost effective model than having the developers paid to train the content developed.
