                               Background
   The Why:
   • Quality of ECE across the world is extremely low
   • A key challenge to deliver quality ECE is the low capacity of the ECE workforce
   • Measurement of classroom practices allows systems to better support teachers
   The Opportunity:
   • Create a classroom observation tool to measure process quality that is both high-
     inference and scalable
   • Using resource-agnostic examples of quality across a spectrum of teaching
     practices
   The Ambition:
   • To provide a framework to measure classroom practices in ECE
   • Contribute to the professionalization of ECE educators
