“…In an iterative process, commonalities that connected different parts of the stories were then highlighted as possible causal pieces in the diffusion and implementation process, especially where key player roles were concerned. The results of this phase of the analysis thus identified patterns of events and individual actions that led to the identification of four main stages and five key player roles of the diffusion of the T.

We used the aforementioned diffusion of innovation theory by EverettRogers (2003), in particular, his patterns for the diffusion of innovation and innovation in organizations, as the "rival explanation"(Yin, 1994, p. 108) to our explanation for the spread and completion of the diffusion of nonprofit program innovation.…”

This article examines the diffusion of a state-level nonprofit program to other states across the United States. Current literature on innovation diffusion largely overlooks the diffusion of nonprofit program innovation. Although several streams of related diffusion research have considered organizational change and government policy transfer, they miss organizational and contextual factors particularly important for nonprofits. This study considers organizational and environmental factors in the transfer of statelevel nonprofit program innovation using in-depth interviews with 74 policy actors to examine the spread of the T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood Project to nonprofits in four states. It identifies similarities and differences between nonprofit program and government policy diffusion and proposes a modified framework for state-level nonprofit program diffusion that consists of multiple stages and participant roles.

“…Educators measure learning rate, retention, and accuracy, including immediate versus long-term learning (Cormier & Hagman, 1987). Successful transfer could require fidelity to the original situation (Baldwin & Ford, 1988) or encourage adaptability across situations, with flexibility the measure of success (Kerlin, Auer, & Reid, 2003).…”

Transfer is a term used in many fields to describe a change process involving movement of knowledge, skills, or policy from one place to another. The central components of transfer invite the evaluator to conceptualize the change process in terms of a starting point, different understandings of what is being transferred, the medium or mechanism, the concomitant agents, the purpose, and the ending point. Technological models of transfer can be contrasted with learning models of transfer. This means that the educational technology of the intervention might be easily transferred, for example, but not the organizational engagement and inquiry process associated with it. Such scenarios are common in fields where capacity varies widely from place to place. It is therefore crucial to surface what was actually implemented, especially if programs have the same name in various sites, but in reality have replicated very different forms of the program.

Early Childhood Educators Pay Equity: A Dream Deferred

Insufficient wages and unequal pay create challenges in attracting and retaining highquality early educators, critical for young children’s success in early care and education (ECE) programs. While ECE professional wages are already lower than similar workers, there may be wage disparities based on race/ethnicity and gender within the workforce. To examine whether hourly wages were associated with race/ethnicity and gender after considering demographic and professional characteristics, this study used a nationally representative sample of 5,192 ECE professionals in the 2019 National Survey of Early Care and Education (NSECE) workforce survey. Multivariate regression analyses showed that compared to their White counterparts, Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, and other races, educators earned lower hourly wages. Additionally, this study revealed that the intersection of race/ethnicity and gender has a compounding effect on pay equity among early childhood educators. For example, the wage gap between Black/African American male and female educators is significant, with male educators earning higher hourly wages. Moreover, the study found that women of color, including Black, Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and other races, had the lowest average hourly wages compared to other ECE workers. Additionally, the study’s results indicate that Black and Hispanic/Latino men had higher average hourly wages than women of color but lower average hourly wages than white women. The study explored possible reasons for these findings and their implications for policies and support.
