CCTAN - The Child Care Technical Assistance Network, a service of the Office of Child Care

This resource is a planning and implementation guide for State/Territory teams as they develop and strengthen technical assistance (TA) supports. It also describes an aligned State/Territory professional development system (PDS), and defines TA as part of an aligned PDS. The provided considerations for developing or advancing aligned PDS are built on a readiness for change process framework, with four steps focused on goal/outcome development, fit and feasibility and readiness for change, implementation, and monitoring.
