• Provides TA and resources to state agencies to assist with the development or enhancement of data systems for early intervention and early childhood special education programs
• Works with states to enhance IDEA data systems and to assist states in developing systems that are coordinated with other early childhood data systems and have longitudinal linkages to data systems for older children

• Discuss importance of including IDEA programs and services in your registry
• Review standards and tools that support states’ efforts

A Comprehensive Early Childhood Framework
Early Care
and Education
Health Family
Leadership and Support
Comprehensive services that promote children’s
physical, developmental, and mental health
Nurturing relationships, safe environments, and enriching
experiences that foster learning and development
Resources, experiences, and relationships that strengthen families,
engage them as leaders, and enhance their
capacity to support children’s well being
Special Needs/Early
Intervention
Early identification, assessment and
appropriate services for children with special health care needs,
disabilities, or developmental delays
Source: Adapted from Early Childhood Systems Working Group, National Governor’s Association, 2006.
Critical Early Childhood Policy Questions Are children, birth to age five, on track to succeed at
school entry and beyond? Which children have access to high quality early care
and education programs? Is the quality of programs improving over time? What are the characteristics of effective programs? How prepared is the workforce to provide effective
education and care for all children? What policies and investments lead to a skilled and
stable early childhood workforce?

What are "Early Care and Education" Data?
The ECDC recognizes that multiple domains are important to early childhood
This framework focuses on the early care and education (ECE) domain— Subsidized Child Care Licensed Child Care Early Intervention (IDEA Part C) Early Childhood Special Education (IDEA Part B Section 619) State Pre-kindergarten State-funded Head Start or Early Head Start

Why Focus on Workforce Data?Recap: Status of ECE Data Systems1. Every state collects ECE data on individual children, program
sites and/or members of the ECE workforce2. Data are uncoordinated as almost every state cannot link
child-, program site-, and ECE workforce-level data across all ECE programs
3. Data gaps remain for ECE workforce-level data and child-level development data
4. Governance matters because data linkages are most likely to occur between data systems located within the same state agency
States cannot answer basic questions about the states’ ECE systems

Registry Data Collection• Comprehensive workforce information system • Collects essential data on early childhood and school
age professionals• Recognizes professional attainment and supports PD
planning• An integral part of the infrastructure for state

Examining Data Collection vs. ExchangeData Collection• Requires focused
recruitment of populations• Incorporation of
professionals in registry’s ID system
• No need to worry about alignment of data elements
• Advanced reporting/access options
• Increase probability for duplicative data collection
• Others
Exchange of Data• Requires focused
recruitment of populations but includes selling point • E.g., accessing teacher cert
data directly for participants• ID management
across systems• E.g., probabilistic matching
• Alignment of data elements across systems needed
• Reduced probability for duplicative data collection
• Others

WHAT IS PART C AND PART B 619?

What is Part C?• The Program for Infants
and Toddlers with Disabilities (Part C of IDEA)
• Federal grant program—states must ensure intervention to every eligible child and family
• Serving children ages birth through age 2 and their families

PROMISING PRACTICES
-ALASKA-ILLINOIS-OHIO-WISCONSIN
39
• The Alaska SEED Registry has an Early Intervention (EI) and Infant Learning Program (ILP) track on the SEED Career Ladder. • All EI/ILP professionals are required by their program to be
in the Alaska SEED Registry. • Comprehensive data on Part C (n=107 ILP practitioners)• ILP/Part C Training Coordinator has access to data system
for monitoring• No recruitment or data relationships with Part B/619
or teacher licensure
Alaska
40
• Early intervention has been invited to participate in recruitment planning activities
• No current targeted recruitment for early intervention or pre-school special education
• Staff members who work in licensed programs are required to be in the registry
• Preschool for All staff (certified and non-certified) required to join registry• Working on project involving data exchange of certified
teacher data
Illinois
41
• Early Intervention Service Coordinators and Supervisors are required to participate in the registry• Registry administers credentialing process (n=~2,000)
• Funded by Ohio Department of Health• Provide information to Department of Health monthly
• Teacher licensure has its own system• All Department of Education programs will be mandated to
participate due to TQRIS and the ELCG• Working one-time data dump for licensure information for
all teachers employed in programs participating in QRIS
Ohio
42
• Early intervention and preschool special education trainers participate in the trainer approval process
• Early childhood and preschool special education professionals’ training are tracked in the Registry training calendar system

• CEDS is a free tool for you to use• It will help build your policy questions and the
elements needed to answer the questions• It will help align your data elements to those you
hope to exchange with• The National Registry Alliance is actively involved and
is mapping the Core Data Elements in order to help registries with this process
• Allows you to compare your efforts to other states

USING CONNECT
Connect
Stakeholders from various types of educational organizations can use the tool to Answer program and policy questions
Calculate metrics and indicators Address reporting requirements
55
• Example Connections:• What is median hourly wage of early learning
professionals? How does it vary by subgroup?• What are the characteristics of professionals working in
ECE?• To answer such a program question, you need
• Data, possibly from multiple data systems with workforce data
• Data elements and their definitions• A plan to analyze the data . . .
• You need the CEDS Connect tool.
