Teachers at Partnering Centers Report Benefits of Partnership

This 2006 document indicates that child care center directors in Ohio who are partnering with Head Start report offering more employment benefits to teachers working at their centers (e.g., paid sick leave, tuition reimbursement). There was greater availability of professional development opportunities for partnership teachers. Data also show that teachers employed at partnership centers are more likely to use a structured or research-based curriculum than teachers at non-partnering centers.
