Racial Equity Initiative Data Report, 2017
Washington State Department of Early Learning
In 2016-2017 the Department of Early Learning (DEL) is undertaking a new Racial Equity Initiative to strengthen the department's organizational capacity to advance racial equity. The outline for this initiative describes the need for "data and metrics to track results and measure the impact of DEL's actions at the child/family/community level and outcomes at the program/agency level." Specific data needed are: (1) Baseline data across DEL programs and services as to race/ethnicity and languages of children/families served, providers, and trainers/coaches; and (2) Comparable population-based eligible population data to determine if programs are serving eligible children/families of color and those from families with limited English proficiency. Additionally, information is needed to determine the extent to which outcomes of DEL programs are addressing racial/ethnic/language opportunity gaps. This Data Report is intended to support the initial data needs of DEL's equity initiative so that they may plan their work.
