Faced with rising demand for information about early childhood programs, states need to find tools and strategies to monitor the progress of and to identify high-quality early childhood programs. In response, REL Mid-Atlantic convened a regional workgroup for state personnel who work with the systems containing early childhood data. The workgroup provides a forum for regular peer exchange of ideas and strategies for collecting, analyzing, and using state data. This summary presents the lessons learned and topics discussed in the workgroup meetings in 2013.
