Technical assistance for CCEE programs can help program sites build capacity to develop high quality early learning practices. Answering this question will help identify disparities and opportunities among program sites’ use of technical assistance. To answer this question, site level information can be used.
What are the characteristics of CCEE program sites that receive technical assistance on an annual basis?
Description
General Analysis Recommendation
Identify CCEE Program Sites that Received Technical Assistance
Program sites that received technical assistance can be identified by searching for sites with a date assigned in the Technical Assistance Date data element during the desired time frame.
Describe the Types of Technical Assistance Received by CCEE Program Sites
Several data elements related to the amount (Technical Assistance Duration), material covered (Technical Assistance Focus), and the kind of assistance provided (Technical Assistance Type) can be used to describe the technical assistance program sites (Site ID) receive. To analyze the amount of TA program sites are receiving, average the data element Technical Assistance Duration. Total the “Yes” responses for each of the categories (e.g. Health and Safety, Mental Health, Inclusion) for the data element Technical Assistance Focus to determine the material most commonly covered during the provision of TA. Count the “Yes” options for each of the categories in the data element Technical Assistance Type to determine the most common ways in which TA is provided (e.g., Mentoring, Coaching, Peer-to-Peer).
Analyze the Characteristics of CCEE Program Sites that Received Technical Assistance
Site Level data elements that may be of interest for analysis include Children Receiving Subsidy, Licensed Capacity, Program Site Licensing Type, Early Childhood Setting, Early Childhood Program Type Offered, etc. A full list of Site Level data elements can be found in the data dictionary in this document.
