This toolkit presentation is intended to support practitioners in using data to make program and child level decisions. The toolkit discusses how to be a data based decision maker, including how to efficiently and intentionally use data for both program improvement and child level decisions; the context nationally that requires the use of data to improve outcomes for young children (e.g., Results Driven Accountability); and how to create a culture of decision making, including the questions practitioners might need to ask and the data needed to answer those questions.
