No Longer Invisible: Addressing Equity Through Data Use

Conference: STATS-DC Data Conference
Date: August 17, 2021
Presenters: Grace Kelley and Cindy Weigel

Equity issues exist in multiple places throughout early childhood special education service delivery from pre-referral though transition – but they will remain invisible unless committed leaders identify and address equity issues. Program leaders need to understand data are perceived differently by different communities. They need to identify critical questions to ask about equity and have the data to answer them. They also need to know how to analyze data, provide context, and lead stakeholders in conversations about what the data mean. This session will introduce what it means to use data to lead for equity and include two state presenters.
