Measuring What Matters: Equity Considerations in Early Childhood Measurement Tools
You value what you measure, and you measure what you value. The early childhood field has traditionally relied on measures that may not reflect the parenting practices and values of families, particularly families of color. How can the early childhood field utilize measures that better align with community values and practices? Attendees will learn how to consider the cultural relevance of early childhood and parenting measurement tools, and learn how to use the IMPACT Measures Tool (www.impact.ecprism.org) to find culturally relevant measures that are aligned to their community’s values.
