Using Data to Respond to Emerging Needs — A National Community of Practice

    Date: Occurs monthly, July 2020 — December 2020
    Locations: Online

    Overview

    As government agencies respond to the current health crisis, the need for information about child and family services is rapidly evolving. ECDataWorks is launching a new virtual community of practice to share lessons learned and strategies for collecting and reporting on responsive data to emerging needs (e.g., COVID 19, disaster response) as part of their state activities. We hope this will be a forum for state administrators to discuss the current needs and strategies for using data to inform policymakers and public stakeholders.  

     

    Participants will: 

    • Learn about using data to respond to emerging needs and why it matters 
    • Gain knowledge of strategies that support evolving data analytic needs 
    • Share lessons learned about how data are used during emergency response scenarios 
    • Increase their network of resources and supports
