Early Childhood OutcomesOSEP required states to

submit outcome data in their State Performance Plan (SPP) and Annual Performance Report (APR)

2010 – 2011 (Federal Fiscal Year 2009) first year Districts and Part C Networks were compared to State targets

The Three Early Childhood Outcomes

1. Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships)

2. Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication [and early literacy*])

3. Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs

*for 3-5 6

How Kansas Early Childhood Outcome Data

is Reported

States Report Data in these categories

Percentage of children who:a) Did not improve functioningb) Improved functioning, but not sufficient to

move nearer to functioning comparable to same-age peers

c) Improved functioning to a level nearer to same-age peers, but did not reach it

d) Improved functioning to reach a level comparable to same-age peers

e) Maintained functioning at a level comparable to same-age peers.

Summary Statements For Reporting Progress on Targets

Required Summary Statement 1: Of those children who entered or exited the program below age

expectations in each Outcome, the percent who substantially increased their rate of growth by the time they exited the program.

expectations in each Outcome by the time they exited the program.

Sharing Your ECO DataSample messages that can be gleaned from your

ECO data:Data show that children are making progress from entry

to exit in the programMany children are catching up or getting closer to same

age peersPoint out how programs are contributing to school

readinessLink message to broader EC issues (i.e. cost

effectiveness of high quality EC programs)
