2 1. Using Data 2 Early Childhood Outcomes Center

3 Using data for program improvement = EIA E vidence I nference A ction 3

4 Evidence Evidence refers to the numbers, such as “45% of children in category b” The numbers are not debatable 4

5 Inference How do you interpret the #s? What can you conclude from the #s? Does evidence mean good news? Bad news? News we can’t interpret? To reach an inference, sometimes we analyze data in other ways (ask for more evidence) 5

6 Inference is debatable -- even reasonable people can reach different conclusions Stakeholders can help with putting meaning on the numbers Early on, the inference may be more a question of the quality of the data 6 Inference

7 Action Given the inference from the numbers, what should be done? Recommendations or action steps Action can be debatable – and often is Another role for stakeholders Again, early on the action might have to do with improving the quality of the data 7

12 What do you want your audience to notice? Where do you want their eyes to go? Alternate presentation of the same data. What works? Chartjunk and minimal ink When pies don’t work? 12Early Childhood Outcomes Center

19 3. Making Comparisons 19Early Childhood Outcomes Center

20 What constitutes a meaningful difference? –Statistical significance refers to sampling from a population –Your child outcomes data is the population. What constitutes stability in your data? 20Early Childhood Outcomes Center

21 Comparing to state numbers Influence of big entities on totals Demonstration with an example of how a huge change in a small entity makes almost no difference on a – e, but how that same proportionate change in a big entity makes a big difference (i.e., why state numbers will often look a lot like the biggest subunit. 21Early Childhood Outcomes Center
