This Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) annual performance report for the year 2015 describes Georgia's accomplishments, lessons learned, challenges, and strategies Georgia will implement to address those challenges. In 2015, the second year of implementation, Georgia continued to use the RTT-ELC opportunity as a mechanism to build and improve the state's strong early education system. Examples include using Early Learning Challenge funds to increase subsidy opportunities for programs, thereby increasing the number of children with access to high quality programs, expanding training and professional development opportunities for teachers and program leaders, and increasing the use of data and research for quality improvement. In the second year, the state more than doubled the number of programs rated in the Georgia's Tiered Quality Rating and Improvement System (TQRIS) and made considerable progress on the cross-agency data system and kindergarten readiness assessment. As in Year One, the successes were created and continued through purposeful stakeholder engagement and appropriate and meaningful use of data. All of Georgia's accomplishments were aligned with other early education initiatives, including an early education subcommittee charged with making recommendations to the Governor's Education Reform Commission and planning for the 2016-18 Child Care and Development Fund Reauthorization. Research and data continued to inform policy and practice. While the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL) serves as the lead agency for Early Learning Challenge, the state's success is due to the continued collaboration with other state agencies and stakeholders. The increase in Quality Rated Participation is partially attributed to the partnerships between the state and philanthropic organizations that raise money for bonus packages and communication plans. Additionally, the strong partnership between DECAL and Great Start Georgia (the state's home visiting model) is evidenced in the incorporation of home visiting into child care centers. Year Two implementation of Georgia's RTT-ELC grant demonstrates the state's commitment to its youngest learners and meeting Early Learning Challenge goals.
