Maine Roads to Quality Professional Development Network has created a statewide system to offer technical assistance (TA) services to early childhood and out-of-school time programs working to improve program quality. The TA System supports the reflective processes that practitioners need in order to apply the theories and information learned through education and/or training to improve or sustain best practices. Our ECE Program Quality Specialists can support you and your program with a wide variety of services.

The flowchart above features Technical Assistance at the top as defined as Customized services by professionals for professionals to develop or strengthen processes, knowledge application, and skill building in early and youth settings. (Adapted form NAEYC & NACCRRA, 2011). Below that is Rising Stars for ME and Continuous Quality Improvement. Below that is Consultation which can be Phone or Email, Warm Line or Virtual and On-Site Consultation. Opposite of Consultation is Peer-to-Peer Networks which are Communities of Practice and Professional Learning Communities.
