This final report describes the activities and outcomes of Project TIES (Towards Inclusion in Early Education), a federally funded demonstration model training program designed to enhance the abilities of child care providers and trainers to include young children, birth to five, with disabilities in developmentally appropriate child care settings. One of the key components of the project was to enhance the success of trainees by making training available locally in rural areas. TIES embedded information on inclusion in the existing state-wide Tennessee Early Childhood Training Alliance (TECTA) program and implemented training sessions in rural areas throughout the state of Tennessee. Over 1,272 people received training through this project and over 100 TECTA trainers received advanced training. TIES infused information in eight modules including professionalism, child development, developmentally appropriate practice, healthy and safe environments, guidance, observation and assessment, family relationships, and cultural and individual safety. Essential features of the model included the use of curriculum based on NAEYC/DEC best practices, local training of trainers and trainees, reimbursement for professional development, activity based training, consultation, support for parents, mentoring, consulting, and networking. TIES provided a manual, a material kit, and training for TECTA sites. As a result of TIES activities, TECTA redesigned their curriculum to include information and training which addresses inclusion of children with disabilities or delays. During the final year of the project, follow-up surveys to assess the effectiveness of TIES were distributed to all nine sites in Tennessee. Appendices include: Letters of Support; TIES Products and Resources; TECTA/TIES Model; Map of Tennessee TECTA/TIES Training Area; Survey of Project TIES Kit; Inclusion Questionnaire; Follow-Up Surveys; and Dissemination and Documentation, Resources, Outside Evaluation.
