Activity 2 PDG B-5 Strategic Plan
PDG B-5 grantees are required to develop or revise a strategic plan that supports collaboration and coordination among existing ECE programs in a mixed delivery system with a state or territory. The plan will focus on establishing and maintaining an ECE system designed to support all children and their families, but particularly those identified as most vulnerable by their state or territory. Each state or territory’s PDG B-5 Strategic Plan will identify goals and action steps to directly address the specific areas for improvement identified in the needs assessment and reflect a comprehensive systems-plan approach. Grantees have the opportunity to create their strategic plan in a way that best fits their needs, and should establish the strategies that fit the needs of the participants involved in the work and invested in the outcome.
These resources were created to support PDG B-5 grantees in creating strategic plans for comprehensive, mixed-delivery systems for children and families:
Strategic Planning Guidance and Crosswalk
The strategic plan is intended to reflect a thoughtful approach to the implementation of a multi-year effort toward establishing and implementing a comprehensive, B-5 mixed delivery system for all children, especially children identified as vulnerable as defined by the state/territory.

PDG B-5 Engagement Strategies Webinar Series
Engaging families as partners in the early learning process is imperative. This includes engaging them as co-partners in both the assessment of the needs of their communities and in planning strategically for state and community early learning strategies. This presentation will leverage the experience and expertise of the presenters in large and small scale early learning community engagement and communication strategies and will offer best practices to successfully connect with traditionally difficult to reach families. This would include lessons learned directly from communities that have lived such strategies and practical and accessible ways to assess and integrate best practices locally. An opportunity to engage in Q&A will also be offered with ACS leadership as well as other states.
