In this article, the authors discuss the process of how a department of educational leadership developed an appreciation for the journal by aligning JCEL cases to NCATE standards for the purpose of the instruction of educational leadership. Next, a faculty member shares her experience with employing case studies in her teaching, and finally, the table (including cases through 2009) that is distributed to faculty members of the department is included.

Despite this recent increase in the use of observational assessments, there has been limited discussion about processes and mechanisms for sharing and using the data from these tools to drive program improvement. The purpose of this article is to articulate lessons learned about the data-sharing process from the embedded evaluator paradigm of assessment and feedback used in Educare, an early childhood program model, to inform the initiatives emerging in the larger field. Research Findings: The application of principles from developmental evaluation and self-determination theory resulted in numerous processes that facilitated the utilization of classroom observation data. These processes, which involved the 3 main steps of establishing a Research-Program Partnership, implementing classroom observations, and sharing the results, are described and discussed. Across these 3 steps, processes were developed to support relatedness, competence, and autonomy as critical needs to be met to facilitate data internalization and use. Practice or Policy: Implications are drawn for the larger early childhood field, including settings without an embedded evaluator.

Both similarities and differences were noted between these caregivers and caregivers in other types of child care. The in‐home caregivers were young, relatively well educated, worked long hours and were committed to working with children. Their financial compensation and fringe benefits
