Highlights

A new part-time learning and evaluation specialist will help the Colorado Statewide Parent Coalition (CSPC) use data more effectively in their advocacy with Spanish-speaking parents and family, friend, and neighbor caregivers. They plan to conduct a family priorities survey. This research is informed by CSPC’s experience as part of a learning cohort on how to decolonize evaluation and research.

In 2021 the legislation passed a one time $100M investment in EC and in 2022, the state invested $50M as a match to federal ARP.

Also in 2022, over 75 people graduated from Providers Advancing School Outcomes cohorts which is a 120 hour early childhood education program. They also trained over 160 Family & Friends Network Providers in Colorado. And lastly, they had 16 groups of 3 Spanish speaking volunteers inform the immigrant community about their rights and voting. They were able to reach and educate 2,000+ people.
