Presenting in person at my first real life, physical conference in two years, on Data Discovery and Continuous Quality Improvement. Looking at you, Region IV Head Start @Region IV Head Start Association, Inc. zcu.io/ReLS DeltaHealthAlliance

A nice longitudinal analysis of the impact of #HeadStart on later education outcomes and adult earnings. brook.gs/33cwYrI via The Brookings Institution

In Head Start, "Quality Assurance" has been the norm for so long that many are unaware of newer "Quality Improvement" requirements. Q.A. often gets conflated with Q.I., a potentially costly mistake. zcu.io/hQIR @Region 9 Head Start Association @PHSA@WSAHSECEAP #CQI

The Carnegie Summit has been an inspiration for our team as we translate CQI to early childhood. This year the Summit is happening March 27-29 and will be available both in person and virtually. zcu.io/QsQH

In leadership roles, sometimes it's a big win just to avoid the potholes, errors and wrong turns. That strategy applies to data management as well. #HeadStart #CQI zcu.io/7jw9 @Region 9 Head Start Association @Region 9 Head Start Association Region 9 HSA

Excited to be presenting in Atlanta this week at the RIVHSA Leadership Summit. Session is entitled "Data Leadership and CQI: How Head Start Programs are Innovating and Driving Quality. " zcu.io/FDa8 #RIVHSA #FA2

Just attended a great session at the Natl Research Conference on Early Childhood, #NRCEC2022, reviewing the (early) state of CQI in our field. Thanks to Anne Douglass for a visionary presentation. We at the Head Start Q.I. Network appreciate your leadership. Anne Douglass

What's in your data budget? What worked in the past won't necessarily fly on your next federal review. Our January 19 webinar explores emerging tools and strategies as you budget for the coming year: zcu.io/iYZf @Region 9 Head Start Association

If your Head Start program has been thinking about acquiring stronger data and quality improvement resources for the coming year, now is the time to act: zurl.co/zj2Q @Region 9 Head Start Association

For early childhood program leaders looking for data and quality improvement resources, the Head Start Q.I. Network is accepting applications through April 28. Free Webinar:  Telling your data story - zurl.co/HQsr @Region 9 Head Start Association

Looking forward to be presenting at the next R9HSA Directors Exchange.

Great opportunity for someone who loves helping early childhood leaders leverage their data for program impact: zurl.co/faiU

A data story is a translation: from data analysis to meaningful narrative. It can be a strength or a weakness. See our interview with a federal reviewer.... zurl.co/9kG6 @Region 9 Head Start Association Michigan Football Head Start Association

A Head Start self-assessment can produce valuable insight or be a meaningless waste of time. The valuable ones follow a pattern, according to expert @Kristen-Hayes-consulting. zurl.co/SZFh @Region 9 Head Start Association

The power of chronic absence as a metric is that it's predictive of child outcomes. It is helps schools (including Head Start and State PreK) identify the children and families that most need their attention. zurl.co/0Yit

A federal review isn't just an event to endure. With thoughtful preparation, it can be an opportunity for your team to reflect, learn and grow. zurl.co/4cAq @Region 9 Head Start Association

Early childhood programs are using data coaches to help extract value from the data they collect. Simply understanding data is not enough -- programs need to ingest it, focusing on workflows and decision process. Program leaders share their experience. zurl.co/5Acb

What's the best way to convert a New Years Resolution into success? Allocate resources: time, money, staffing, etc. January is a great time for ECE programs to get intentional about HOW they are going to achieve their goals in the coming year. zurl.co/iyqFY

You know ECE data is important, but what are the next steps for building your team's capacity? Every program has different needs, so what approach will work best for you? Our new, free assessment could be a resource. zurl.co/WXzTl

How do you build a data culture? It requires intentional leadership. zurl.co/Q7LxT
