GLR Sustainable Scale Initiative • The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (CGLR) Sustainable Scale Initiative is a multiyear effort to position and equip philanthropy, especially state-facing funders, to: (a) play an influential and effective role in promoting smarter decisions about what is scale-worthy; and (b) find pathways to capture for investment today the present value of projected savings from effective interventions. gradelevelreading.net / @readingby3rd / #GLReading 4
GLR Sustainable Scale Initiative • CGLR’s focus on sustainable scale is driven by a commitment to helping communities and states move the needle on grade-level reading proficiency, produce bigger outcomes and move from outcomes to impact. Sustainable scale requires three core capacities: high-quality integrated data systems (IDS), agile analytics and a greater range of fiscal tools and strategies. • Today’s second Quarterly Webinar will focus on North Carolina’s data partnerships and its effort to include home visiting in its integrated data system. gradelevelreading.net / @readingby3rd / #GLReading 5
Early Childhood Data Visualization and Use in North Carolina - Special Focus on Home Visiting • North Carolina is one of seven states participating in the Sustainable Scale Initiative along with Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, and Oregon. • Joining us on today’s webinar will be Mandy Ableidinger , Policy and Practice Leader, North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation; Hayley Young , MPH, Early Childhood Data Analyst, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services; and Dale Epstein , Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist, Early Childhood Data Collaborative, Child Trends, to discuss North Carolina’s progress to include home visiting as part of its Early Childhood Integrated Data System. • They will share with us how North Carolina is leveraging cross-agency, cross- sector collaboration to improve early childhood data collection, analysis and use in order to make data-informed decisions at the state and local levels. • After the North Carolina presentation, we will have a discussion on other efforts to build effective integrated state data systems - essential for going to scale. gradelevelreading.net / @readingby3rd / #GLReading 6
