Research Priorities
At The Inspired Community Project, Inc, our mission is to advance the field of early childhood education through rigorous research and evidence-based practices, workforce development and family advocacy coaching. We understand that early childhood education is critical to the development of children and their success in school and beyond. Therefore, we are committed to conducting longitudinal studies to examine factors that contribute to high-quality care for children, with a specific focus on workforce development.
By conducting comprehensive research in these areas, we seek to provide valuable insights and evidence-based recommendations to empower early childhood educators, families, and policymakers. Through our work, we aim to bridge the gap between research and practice, facilitating the implementation of effective strategies that support the growth, well-being, and academic achievement of young learners.
Workforce Development
Through our research on workforce development, we aim to understand the dynamics that influence early childhood educators' success and satisfaction in their roles. Our longitudinal studies will explore aspects such as staff turnover rates, job satisfaction, and professional development opportunities. By investigating these factors, we strive to identify strategies and interventions that can effectively support and retain skilled educators, ensuring a stable and nurturing environment for children's growth and development.
Family Advocacy Coaching
In addition to workforce development, we recognize the crucial role of families in promoting children's success in school. Therefore, our research extends to the impact of family advocacy coaching on student outcomes as children transition to elementary school. We will delve into areas such as family engagement, communication, and the utilization of strategies that foster positive academic and social-emotional development in children.
