What We Learned
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
Aspects of Regional Variability How licensed care providers
were recruited Types of providers Consultant pool Type of assessment done in
the classroom Focus of individual
consultation Dosage of consultation Timelines for each region
The need for shared vocabulary to tell a statewide story Clarity around children served Clearer definitions of providers Clearer definition of consultation
hours More explanation on
consultation goals
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
What We Learned
Check Conditions of the Road:Assess Infrastructure
Data Collected:Findings from 20 key informant interviews with Regional Leads and Steering Committee members on influential systems level factors

Supports to implementation Broad and regionally
representative steering committees built trust with providers
A history of regional relationships enhanced provider and consultant recruitment
Developing a communication system facilitated interdisciplinary consultation
Implementing the RSM unified the steering committee
Challenges to implementation Some regional geography
made it challenging to recruit consultants and providers serving children in vulnerable situations
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
What We Learned
Check Under the Hood:Look More Deeply at Moving Parts
Data Collected:Survey responses from 157 providers to better understand who and how

In spite of regional differences there were shared Core Implementation components: Consultant meets with a child care provider and they
discuss potential needs Consultant uses some form of assessment tool to
determine needs more formally Consultants and provider jointly set goals Consultation typically is hands on in the classroom with
opportunities for one-on-one debriefing and answering questions
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
What We Learned
Report the Test Drive Results:Sharing Outcomes and Findings
Data Collected:Evidence of changes in teachers, consultants, directors and learning environment from over 150 provider and consultant interviews and 9 classroom observations
Kids' Potential, Our Purpose
Report the Test Drive Results
Key Outcomes: Providers are hungry for enhancing their skills Providers can demonstrate new skills and attitudes toward
sensitive care giving Changing the physical environment is an important step
toward promoting sensitive caregiving and healthy attachment
A trusting relationship between the consultant and provider is essential and takes time
Consultation dosage matters: more than 5 sessions leads to greater increase in knowledge and skills

Reflecting on the Test DriveRecommendations for Using a Strategic Learning Approach for Other Test Drives Have a firm understanding of
the WHAT and HOW (process) Be adaptable- don’t be afraid to
make changes to data collection process in the initial stages
Triangulate data- gather data from lots of perspectives
Match data collection and analysis to the stage of the implementation- don’t try to reach conclusions too early or demonstrate impact before it can be done
Incorporating Learnings from Our Test DriveWe plan to: Revise Regional Service
Model Begin formalizing model by
adopting components of success across all regions
Adapt and improve data collection tools*
Strengthen capacity in the regions for self-evaluation
Explore using standardized assessment tools to track teacher/caregiver outcomes
