Thank you very much for participating in our research. The purpose of this study is to learn about the options for integrating a Breakthrough Series Collaborative (BSC) into early care and education quality improvement systems. The BSC is a specific training approach designed to support learning and improvement among practitioners at all levels of an organization, from directors to teachers who work in a classroom with children. This BSC aims to support children's social and emotional learning practices among staff who work in child care and Head Start settings.

This one-time online survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. In this survey we will ask about your background characteristics.

Completing this survey is up to you. There is a chance that you may feel uncomfortable answering some questions. This survey is voluntary. You can skip any question and you can stop the survey at any time. There are no right or wrong answers to any of our questions. There is no direct benefit to you for completing this survey. We hope that the information you provide will benefit the early child care and education field.

Your name and contact information will not be shared outside of our project team. We will separate your name and contact information from your survey responses, and you will not be identified in any reports of study findings. Our report will describe the experiences and viewpoints expressed, but comments will not be attributed to specific individuals. Your responses will not be shared with your employer or have any impact on your employment status. The answers you provide when completing this survey may be made available to other researchers for future study. However, your identity will be kept private and no responses will be able to be attributed to you.

Data files from the research component of this project may be stored in a trusted online location where they could be made available to other researchers who commit to keeping the data secure. Any personal information that could identify you will be removed before files are shared with other researchers. No research findings will include any personal information.
