Developing Coordinated Longitudinal Early Childhood Data Systems:

Trends and Opportunities in Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge Applications

The report finds that an overwhelming majority of states prioritized building and using better data systems to improve early learning outcomes in their RTT-ELC applications. Rich with specific examples, the brief identifies key trends among states with respect to their development and use of data systems.
