- Reviewing and agreeing upon common assessment tools to be used by tribal early learning and development programs
- Creating a single tribal early learning program enrollment form to be used by all programs
- Investing in a data system to allow for better coordination and sharing of relevant data across early learning and development programs
- Holding joint professional development opportunities and trainings for staff across the three early learning and development programs
- Jointly creating a community-based resource directory
- Collaborating to serve developmentally challenged or disabled young children and their families
- Conducting joint dental services for children
- Sharing and maintaining program facilities
TELI2 grantees are currently working together as a peer cohort learning about the Collective Impact (CI) framework and applying CI concepts and approaches to their collaborative work. Each grantee team is working to develop a plan, which will include a common agenda and specific activities to strengthen the early childhood system within their community. More information on TELI2 plans and activities will be available here in Fall 2016.
