April 11, 2018

As promised, we are presenting our next level of organizational structure for the new Department of Children, Youth, and Families. What we are outlining here is a model that describes the organization of functions within DCYF, not individuals. Getting this functional model in place allows us to start putting names in slots, but we have not completed that phase of the planning yet.

As Secretary Hunter mentioned in a previous post, my role at the Department of Children, Youth, and Families is to oversee the division of Programs for Children and Families. We have begun the challenging yet critical task of building a leadership team for this division. We announced a few weeks ago that Connie Lambert-Eckel and Marybeth Queral will be joining me in this work.

He worked on Access, Office, and a bunch of incomprehensible Internet technology in the 80s and 90s. He has patents. Volunteer work on PTA issues led to him representing his community in the Legislature for 7 terms, leading the finance and budget committees in the State House, re-writing the structure of public school funding, expanding Medicaid, and helping create the Early Start Act.

Professional Development Strategies

A professional development system is a comprehensive framework of professional preparation and ongoing learning support for early childhood and school-age professionals across a variety of roles, settings and sectors.
