Over the last six months as I've been networking at meetings across the San Francisco Bay Area and in Sacramento, I've built up a portfolio of policy and research consulting projects with early childhood county-level and state-wide organizations, as well as in academia.  My consulting work bridges research, policy, and practice to improve early childhood quality and build early learning systems.

Available for:
Strategic Planning
Qualitative Research and Group Facilitation
Quantitative Research and Data Analysis
Literature Review and Writing
Program Evaluation
Policy Analysis
Advocacy and Outreach
Community Convening and Event Planning
Training and Technical Assistance

Current and past projects:
* Working with the San Francisco Child Care Planning and Advisory Council to gather & analyze data to write the updated 2017 Countywide Needs Assessment, collaborating across multiple public agencies and non-profits (SF Office of Early Care and Education, SF Human Services Agency, Children's Council SF Resource & Referral, First 5 San Francisco)
* Working with the California Coalition for Equity in Early Care and Education on grantwriting, policy analysis, group facilitation, community building, event planning, etc
* Working with the Stanford Early Learning Project to co-author early childhood teaching cases
* Completing a landscape analysis of the early childhood advocacy initiatives regionally in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as state-wide efforts
* Supported local organizations to convene an early childhood STEM forum
* Edited the design and content of an early childhood workforce survey
* Organized an early childhood edtech panel with SF EdTechWomen focusing on adult-facing technology to reduce administrative burden and encourage high-quality adult-child interactions
* Connecting early childhood professionals with systems-level roles through the online @ecsystemsjobs community

Feel free to reach out to me at teresaeg through gmail to talk about other early childhood policy and research projects.

I'm excited to have a heavy schedule of conference presentations coming up.  I will be speaking at...

* Head Start Region IX Assocation's Early Childhood STEM Institute on Tuesday, March 28th and Wednesday, March 29th.  I will be presenting three workshops: 'early math talk' in early childhood classrooms, design thinking for early childhood teachers, and early coding and computational thinking for ECE teachers and preschoolers.

* Oregon Association for the Education of Young Children (OregonAEYC)'s 2017 Spring Conference on Saturday, April 22nd.  I will be presenting on 'early math talk' in early childhood classrooms.

Looking forward to connecting with early childhood teachers and administrators who are excited to bring more early math and STEM into their classrooms.
