The study will expand the research base regarding the effects of one particular early childhood education (ECE) quality improvement strategy - providing individualized instructional feedback to ECE staff on the basis of classroom observations. It will use rigorous, econometric methods to identify treatment effects- exploiting the random selection process to receive observations and feedback as part of the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) Early Language and Literacy Classroom Observation (ELLCO) study. The outcome variables of focus include both ECE staff outcomes (i.e., staff retention and participation in professional development) and child outcomes (i.e., early language and literacy skills and social-emotional development). The study is highly relevant given state efforts as well as state and federal resources expended toward improving child care quality. As state policy makers determine how to implement the "I" of Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS), understanding the effectiveness of particular quality improvement efforts is imperative. Evidence of the effectiveness of lower cost, light touch strategies is especially relevant for quality improvement efforts implemented on a statewide scale.

这项研究将扩大关于一项特殊的幼儿教育质量改进战略的影响的研究基础，这项战略是根据课堂观察向幼儿教育工作人员提供个性化的教学反馈。它将使用严格的计量经济学方法来确定治疗效果-利用随机选择过程来接收观察和反馈，作为俄亥俄州教育部（ODE）早期语言和识字课堂观察（ELLCO）研究的一部分。重点成果变量包括欧洲经委会工作人员的成果（即，工作人员留用和参与专业发展）和儿童成果（即，早期语言和识字技能以及社会情感发展）。鉴于州政府的努力以及州政府和联邦政府为提高儿童保育质量而投入的资源，这项研究是高度相关的。随着国家政策制定者决定如何实施质量评级和改进系统（QRIS）的“I”，了解特定质量改进工作的有效性势在必行。证据的有效性较低的成本，轻触战略是特别相关的质量改进工作在全州范围内实施。
