Learn data use mindsets and strategies that can be leveraged to drive quality improvement in early learning settings.
This program is designed to be taken in two parts to allow for knowledge and skill building, and time for application of the knowledge and strategies, before coming back together to debrief on challenges with implementation and a chance to go deeper into the learning.
In this two-part program explore leadership practices that foster data-use mindsets and strategies to promote effective, collaborative, and sustainable data work. Participants will explore new ways data can be leveraged to drive quality improvement in early learning settings.
In most educational settings, including those serving young children, data are collected and used largely for compliance purposes. But with the right knowledge, strategies, and tools, everyday information collected in settings serving young children can be used to drive higher-impact practices, more effective leadership, and overall quality.
