December 11, 2024. Many states and local early childhood programs are interested in reducing exclusionary discipline of young children but lack valid and reliable data on the extent to which young children with or at risk for disabilities are being suspended and expelled.
NASDSE. December 2024. Using IDEA program data from a recent national survey, the presenters discussed the features and capabilities of state ECSE data systems, including typical child record content; access to standard workforce or financial data; associations with EI, Big B data, general ed/SLDS, health and foster care systems (ECIDS); and planned enhancements.
The ECTA and DaSy Centers worked together to provide technical assistance and highlight state practices. These state snapshots are organized by selected indicators from the SPP/APR to support OSEP’s APR Indicator Analysis.
This session provided a multitude of resources available, data sources to guide state-level decision-making, reports to inform current or future goals and outcomes, and organizations to support engagement in the broader ecosystem.
This presentation highlighted two data frameworks that can support states in addressing equity: DaSy’s Data Systems Framework and Child Trends’ System Transformation for Equitable Preschools (STEP Forward with Data) Framework.
This presentation at the 2024 IDIO conference provided information and resources to help states to build a solid understanding of the SPP/APR indicators and the nuances of each calculation. Resources highlighed included the “SPP/APR Basics” online training modules, the Checklists and Tips, and the new Data Calculation documents.
These resources help states prepare and submit the SPP/APR, including the SPP/APR Basics online training series, checklists and tips (updated October 2024), and new calculations guidance that specifies the data to include in the calculations for each SPP/APR indicator.
This session highlighted an overview of the national data for preschool environments, a discussion of what the data reveal, limitations of the data collected, and trends over time.
DaSy, ECTA, and the Waters Center for Systems Thinking teamed with four states to improve their Part C/619 programs by increasing the knowledge and skills needed to improve data culture and become systems thinkers.
In this workshop from IDIO 2024, DaSy/ECTA staff guided participants through a multi-layered approach to analyzing data at a deeper level than normal.
