Project Upgrade in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 2003-2009

Published by ACF | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: August 08, 2025 at 07:15 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 03, 2025
A two-year experiment, Project Upgrade tests the effectiveness of three different language and literacy interventions, Ready, Set, Leap! (RSL!), Breakthrough to Literacy (BTL) and Building Early Language and Literacy (BELL) implemented in child care centers in Miami-Dade County, Florida, that served children from low-income families. Project Upgrade was intended to answer important questions about the possibility of training child care staff, many of whom have limited education beyond high school, to deliver curricula with fidelity, and about the impact of the training and support on teachers' behavior in children's language development and emergent literacy.
