Early Childhood Promising Practices Guide
Why Did We Create This Guide?
Each month representatives from each of our regions come together as a Community of Practice, to learn from one another and share our challenges and successes. We also use this time to connect with Spark NH’s work at the state level and help inform Spark NH’s work. This experience has allowed us to replicate and build on what others have done. As we do this work we are constantly experimenting with new approaches to addressing complex problems. And – we are having some real successes. This Guide is our attempt to share what we are learning with other practitioners who are interested in improving early childhood outcomes in their regions.
Our hope is to provide a snapshot of what we are doing and learning with the understanding that this is still a work in progress. We are still learning! While the Guide is not a detailed “how to” manual, we hope that it provides enough information to inform and inspire others. We encourage readers who are interested in knowing more to contact us.
