Program: New Resource for Programs – The Head Start Data Lake Collaborative

Description: For the past year, NHSA has been piloting an early childhood data lake, a central repository that collects, stores, and analyzes data from Head Start programs in ways that help programs learn from each other. From the practitioner perspective, the data lake will provide dashboards that are useful to improve practice on a day-to-day basis. The lake will also contain aggregated national dashboards to drive quality improvement at a national level. Resources provided in presentation:

• Slides
• Start-Up Documentation

Learning Objective: Learn about the Head Start Data Lake, its value to programs, and how to join!
