As a result of the support and technical assistance provided by the CCB in partnership with States, the following accomplishments related to the priorities of the GSGS initiative have been achieved as of September 2004:

• All 50 States; Washington, DC; and the Territories are actively engaged in developing or implementing ELGs applicable to all early care and education programs within their States.

• More than 27 States are implementing their guidelines through dissemination, training, and/or embedding the guidelines in their professional development system.

• All 50 States; Washington, DC; and the Territories have created partnerships with at least four key early care and education programs in their States and are coordinating with these stakeholders in the establishment of their professional development systems.
