A New Approach to Data-driven Quality Improvement in Early Childhood Programs
December 5 2022
12:00 PM EDT
State Quality Improvement Systems (QIS) leaders are reexamining the initiatives, tools, programs, and investments in their quality improvement frameworks. They are looking at initiatives in terms of cost and scalability, alignment with philosophy, how the initiatives work together, impact and evaluation, and particularly, provider perspectives. Some states, including those that use the LENA Grow program, are tracking program participation in initiatives to better understand the type of support that contributes to building quality programs and improving outcomes for children. Join us for this webinar to hear about LENA Grow and other ways leaders from Colorado, Indiana, Virginia, and North Carolina are implementing innovative data-driven initiatives to improve quality. Feel free to share this invitation with others who might be interested in this topic.
