Attached is a technical research note/abstract (RIKInote #75) on proposing a theory of early childhood outcomes based upon the combined impacts of professional development, program quality, and regulatory compliance. This is an attempt to combine these major systems into a single unified equation in determining their relative weights for early childhood outcomes. This is a controversial proposal but one based upon 50 years of research and empirical evidence, all taken from the Research Institute for Key Indicators’ Early Childhood Program Quality Improvement and Indicators Model data base.
