This report focuses on the progress made and challenges faced by the nine states in achieving the first three objectives for which they were held accountable for use of their Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge (RTTELC) funds. It discusses discrete findings related to these objectives in relevant chapters of the report: Tiered Quality Rating and Improvement System (TQRIS) implementation and participation is discussed and in Chapter II, TQRIS structure, in Chapter III, and the process to generate TQRIS ratings in Chapter IV. Chapter V, reviews the refinements Round 1 states made to their TQRIS since receipt of the RTT-ELC grant. Chapter VI, describes the other studies that are being conducted to shed light on whether states achieved these objectives, along with findings on key features of states' TQRIS that may affect their ability to achieve those objectives. Appendix A contains profiles for each of the nine states.
