Good morning/afternoon,

The Child Care State Capacity Building Center (SCBC) is collecting feedback on its coordination of technical assistance (TA) services with Child Care Technical Assistance Network (CCTAN) national partners. SCBC wants your feedback on aspects of TA mobilization and communication, including regional coordination, SCBC TA services, and regional office supports, including the State System Specialists’ role of supporting the Regional Office and coordinating TA services of CCTAN.

Regional coordination may look different across regions and may include CCTAN calls, individual check-in calls with designated TA partners and State Systems Specialists, collaborative TA calls between multiple National Centers, or a combination of these calls.

Your feedback is voluntary, and we will use it to inform and advance SCBC’s coordination of TA services.

If you would like to provide feedback, please respond to this brief survey using this link by [DATE]: [LINK TO SURVEY].

Information will be kept private and the survey is estimated to take about 15 minutes.

Thank you!
