improve the quality of infant and
toddler care. The study team has
developed We Grow Together: The Q–
CCIIT Professional Development System
based on the research literature to
support caregiver-child interactions in
care settings serving infants and
toddlers. This field test is designed to
(1) examine changes associated with use
of the We Grow Together system and (2)
examine implementation and
participant experiences with the We
Grow Together system. As a secondary
goal, ACF will also further evaluate the
properties of the Q–CCIIT observational
measure. Ultimately, findings from the
field test will provide information about
the experiences of professional
development providers (PD providers)
and caregivers with the We Grow
Together system so that ACF can
improve the system to make the
resources as accessible as possible for
infant-toddler caregivers.
Prior to using the We Grow Together
system, PD providers will complete a
web-based training survey and all
participants will complete a web-based
background survey. Periodically during
the field test, website users will be
asked at log-on to respond to a series of
web-based questions. After system
implementation, participants will
complete a web-based feedback survey.

APPENDIX C: MATHEMATICA CONFIDENTIALITY PLEDGE

CONFIDENTIALITY PLEDGE

I understand that the names, and any other identifying facts or information, of individuals, businesses,
organizations, and families participating in projects conducted by Mathematica, Inc. or its subsidiaries are
confidential information. I agree that I will not reveal such confidential information, regardless of how or where I
acquired it, to any person unless such person has been authorized by the cognizant Mathematica Project Director or
the Mathematica Project Manager to have access to the information.
I further understand that the unauthorized access to, use, or disclosure of any confidential information is a
breach of the terms of my employment, or my consultant agreement with Mathematica and may subject me to court
action by any interested party or to other sanctions by Mathematica. I acknowledge that this agreement shall
continue to bind me even after the project(s) is (are) completed and/or even though my employment or my
consultant agreement with Mathematica has terminated.
In addition, in the course of my employment I may have access to personal information, electronic and
otherwise, about fellow employees. I agree that I will treat that information as having the highest confidentiality,
and not communicate it to fellow employees or others outside Mathematica. Final determination of whether or not
there is a business purpose requiring that I access a fellow employees’ records will be made in consultation with
the Director of Human Resources. Failure to uphold this standard is a breach of trust and may subject me to
disciplinary action, including termination of employment.
Other than in the course of my authorized employment or my consultant agreement, I further agree that I will
not use, nor facilitate the use by any third party, in any way any information deemed confidential by the terms of
any contract or other written agreement between Mathematica and any other organization, except by written
authorization by both parties. It is my understanding that Mathematica and the contracting organization(s) have the
exclusive right to all information acquired or developed under such a contract or other written agreement. I
acknowledge that I acquire no right, title, or interest in and to any data or information to which I have access by
reason of my employment or my consultant agreement and that I may not remove such data from my assigned work
location without prior authorization.
I agree to promptly notify the cognizant Mathematica Project Director or Project Manager, the Survey
Operations Center Manager or Supervisor for survey work, and the Mathematica Security Officer of any
unauthorized disclosure, use, or alteration of confidential information that I observe.
Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent divulgence of information to any court or governmental agency,
provided such divulgence is required by law. However, if I am subpoenaed, or if I have reason to believe that I
may be called upon to make such divulgence, I agree to notify the President of Mathematica promptly in writing
and, upon his request, to cooperate in all lawful efforts to resist such divulgence.

APPENDIX D1: STATE OR NETWORK INFORMANT LETTER

330 C Street, S.W., Washington, DC 20201 | www.acf.hhs.gov

[DATE]

Dear [STATE/NETWORK CONTACT NAME],
Your assistance is requested for an important study of We Grow Together: The Q-CCIIT
Professional Development System. The We Grow Together study is sponsored by the Administration
for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and is being conducted
by Mathematica Policy Research, a nationally recognized, nonpartisan research organization. We Grow
Together includes a website that houses various materials, videos, classroom exercises and aids that are
designed to support individual child care providers who work with infants and toddlers. It also includes
supports for professional development providers (e.g., coaches, technical assistance specialists, mentors)
who work with caregivers (teachers of infants and toddlers in center-based care or in family child care
homes). Findings from the study will inform improvements to the professional development tools to help
caregivers support infant and toddler development.
To ensure that these professional development resources are tested across the full range of care
settings, we are hoping to recruit a diverse set of child care providers serving infants and toddlers in
centers and family child care homes to participate in this field test. I am hoping you can help us identify
potential providers in [FILL AREA] that Mathematica could invite to participate. This contact
