High quality early childhood education plays a crucial role in the foundation for school readiness for Colorados young children. A key component of quality programming is the assurance that every child in Colorado has access to great educators who are supported in their professional growth. The new evaluation requirements under Senate Bill 10-191 are intended to provide meaningful evaluations for all education professionals who are licensed by the state. The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) is incorporating early childhood educators into the scope and intent of S.B. 10-191 to ensure that they, too, benefit from opportunities for meaningful feedback and professional development.
