Overview
Vermont’s Early Childhood Action Plan (VECAP) Data and Evaluation Committee has developed a tool to document data collection efforts across Vermont’s early childhood system. This tool was created to:
- Identify who, when, and what data is being collected on children, families, and the service system.
- Compile a repository of data collection methods, tools, and questions for stakeholders to review and/utilize before creating new surveys.
- Support connection between data stewards to align efforts, reduce duplication, and reduce survey fatigue.
- Create a space for partners and data stewards to see what data collection efforts are done, currently underway, and coming in the next year.
