Abstract	This Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) annual performance report for the year 2014 describes Wisconsin's accomplishments, lessons learned, challenges, and strategies Wisconsin will implement to address those challenges. During the second year of the Race to the Top - Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) in Wisconsin, there have been significant accomplishments in all areas of the grant, some challenges from year one have been overcome, and new strategies have been developed. In 2014, RTT-ELC helped improve the quality of early care and education provided to children in Wisconsin by enhancing the Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS), helping more children gain access to high-quality care, and helping child care providers improve the quality of their care. YoungStar, Wisconsin's QRIS, was enhanced in a number of ways. The reliability, validity, and speed of the current ratings were improved through a contract with Branagh Information Group and training from the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute. In order to help parents and families become engaged in the role they play in providing and selecting highquality early care, work has continued on the YoungStar media campaign. RTT-ELC offered child care providers many opportunities in 2014 to increase the quality of the care they provide Wisconsin's children. The Educational Opportunities Grant is giving child care providers across the state access to credit-based instruction at no cost; 263 T.E.A.C.H. scholarships were provided with RTT-ELC funds; Registry Coupons allowed child care providers to obtain Registry Career Levels at no cost; 1,059 hours of on-site technical consultation were provided in addition to the standard YoungStar hours; and new training and technical assistance opportunities are being created for child care providers serving children with special needs or disabilities and their families. In addition to directly improving the quality of early care and education (ECE), in 2014 RTT-ELC helped to strengthen and align the overall ECE system in Wisconsin.
