Retaining and rewarding talented teachers and providing consistency for young children is key to improving early learning experiences in child care settings. As such, movement of teachers among different sites DISQUALIFIES them from eligibility for the RecognizeB5 incentive for the rest of the VQB5 program year whether or not the new site is actively participating in VQB5. If teachers move to a new site, they will receive incentive payments for each employment period* in which their continued working status was verified BEFORE they moved to a different site. Beyond that, they will NOT be eligible for additional incentive payments during that specific VQB5 program year.
*Please see employment periods below.
