Title

Un Buen Comienzo (UBC) Improvement Network

Alternate name

A Good Start

Abstract/Description

The program is developed intensively for two years in each establishment, during which time both the educational teams at NT1 and NT2 levels and the management and support teams take part in training and support sessions that allow them to learn, share and reflect on their practices and results through collaborative processes.

A Good Start promotes collaborative and networked work with a common goal among schools: to improve children's learning at the early childhood level. UBC addresses socio-emotional and language development through good use of time, quality interactions and reducing child absenteeism through evidence-based strategies.

UBC considers all actors in the system: educators and kindergarten assistants (educational teams), technical heads (UTP), directors and other members of the management team, providers and families.

The program uses a methodology of continuous improvement, based on collaboration and the use of data, with the aim of learning in a systematic way, as well as accumulating and disseminating practical knowledge necessary to improve teaching and learning processes.

Since its inception it has been rigorously and systematically evaluated, with external evaluations seeking to measure impact, while at the same time tracking internal data that is used to make timely and informed decisions.
