Needs assessment for Nevada's early childhood data system project 2012

Description:
This report summarizes the results of a needs assessment that was conducted for Nevada in the first half of 2012 related to the Kindergarten Entry and Data System (KEDS) project. KEDS is a statewide effort to build a comprehensive early childhood education and care (ECE) system that supports the ability of all children in Nevada to enter kindergarten ready to learn. The Nevada Early Childhood Advisory Council, (Nevada ECAC) managed by Nevada's Head Start Collaboration and Early Childhood Systems (HSC&ECS) Office, in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Education (NDE), is leading this effort, which has identified two major components of system change as priorities for implementation: a) Adoption of a common kindergarten entry assessment (KEA); and b) Development of a Coordinated Data System that links Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) to K-12 (and beyond) in order to support early childhood educators to understand and utilize child assessment data to improve programs, curriculum and environments.
