The webinar focused on a national overview of state’s Phase I SSIP based on the SSIP content analysis that TA providers completed in summer of 2015. DaSy, ECTA, IDC, and NCSI co-sponsored the webinar. Several early childhood colleagues shared the results of the SSIP content analysis.

The presentation provides strategies for making predictions of the ways in which improvements in data quality will impact the summary statements and describes different ways to impact and measure changes in data quality over time. This can help states currently struggling to predict how improvements in data quality will impact the value of the summary statements describing child outcomes. Helpful handouts are included.

The presentation offers guidance on integrating implementation efforts across and within agencies, which promotes and supports efficient cross-sector work, resulting in less duplication of effort, a more sustainable system, and increased capability across the system. This information focuses on how states and local programs can use the SISEP Initiative Tool to achieve this integration. Helpful handouts are included.
