Appropriately Defining Success for ECIDS Analytics ECDataWorks

- Education
While sharing data is an important goal, the most vital aspect of early childhood integrated data system (ECIDS) analytics is usefulness.
How do your analytics make it easier for policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to effectively use data in their work? Will they lead to positive changes that meet the needs of your communities and address long-standing challenges for children and families?
As many in the ECIDS field have already learned, progress toward those goals can be difficult to measure.
In this episode, ECDataWorks co-principal investigators Missy Coffey (SRI International) and Phil Sirinides (Penn State Harrisburg) talk with state and national leaders about the importance of identifying appropriate indicators of ECIDS analytics success, and strategies to monitor and drive progress on ECIDS project teams.
Guests include Steven Matherly, Health Program Coordinator with the Utah Department of Health; Richard Gonzales, Preschool Development Grant project manager with the US Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families; Anita Larson, Director of Research, Planning and Evaluation and former ECIDS lead for the Minnesota Department of Education; and Jennifer Verbrugge, ECIDS lead for the Minnesota Department of Education.
