  3. 3 Phases of the DLL Pilot

  4. Study Scope Updates: Revised Design with Expansion Phase

  5. Adjustments to AIR’s Study Design • During Phase 3, First 5 California will distribute funds to programs to expand promising practices (focusing on diverse settings, languages, and ages) in early 2020 (RFA in late 2019). • To support the Phase 3 expansion effort, AIR will: • Complete a more comprehensive literature review to identify practices that are supported by rigorous studies, and in which contexts • Interview a set of program directors in summer 2019 about their decisions about instructional practices, and any barriers to implementation • Conduct an implementation study in fall 2020 in a sample of the funded sites (30 program director interviews)

  6. Local Area Agreements • In consultation with participating counties, F5CA developed the process and timeline for distributing the $12.5 million reserved for county-level supports: • Local Funding – Phases 1 and 2: Up to $2.5 million for local agencies to support the successful implementation of the DLL Pilot Study evaluation activities and recognize educator and site participation: • Dedicated study liaison to support local early learning sites participating. • Incentives for early childhood educators, directors, and sites who participate. • Local Funding – Phase 3: Up to $10 million provided to local agencies and/or early learning sites to replicate and scale effective practices identified in Phase 2.
