Data Practices Review

Program data can be an enormous resource, creating efficiencies and helping managers to prioritize important issues. But how do you know if your team’s practices are really effective?

In our Data Practices Review, expert advisers conduct diagnostic interviews to help assess the effectiveness, quality, and compliance of data practices across service areas. We deliver a report identifying gaps and actionable, prioritized steps for improvement. This review is an affordable way to get a third party perspective on your information systems, and to identify strategies for strengthening your management.

Professional Learning Community

Data tools are a good first step, but your team also needs guides to incorporate these resources into their regular work process. We bring friendly experts to a community of supportive program leaders. It’s what OHS refers to as “moving from a culture of compliance to one of “data, improvement and outcomes.”

The Q.I. Network supports early childhood leaders on the improvement journey. Together, directors and managers share their data insights, their improvement work and they collaborate on solutions. The Network is composed of high performing programs across the country that are leading the way for innovation in early childhood.

Federal Review Prep

Is your team ready for your next federal review? The Head Start Performance Standards increased expectations in 2016 (see 1302.102(c)) reviewers now ask programs to identify their strategies for continuous quality improvement and to identify their promising practices.

While this can be challenging, it’s also a moment to develop leaders by leveraging data to strengthen services. Early Intel trainers and coaches love working with program directors and managers to meet this higher standard.
