The OCDEL Policy Fellowship is a wonderful opportunity to expand my framework of knowledge around state-level initiatives.  OCDEL provides the perfect environment to learn about how a statewide system focused on early childhood education is envisioned, built, supported, aligned, evaluated, and refined - which will add to my early childhood knowledge base and expertise.
