About the Grants
In 2021, The Collaborative awarded seven grants in support of partnerships between institutions of higher education (IHEs) and states/territories/tribal nations to transform their preparation programs for early educators. The grants, totaling $11.3 million, strengthen programs that prepare early care and education (ECE) teachers through a competency-based bachelor’s degree. Learn more about the award recipients and their work.
All grantees participated in a learning community designed to create space for peer learning and collective problem-solving and coaching. Each grantee partnership formed a small, multi-sector team of 3–6 participants consisting of individuals from across the IHE(s), state/territory/Tribal Nation(s), and other partners to participate in the learning community.
