Data is a critical element for supporting implementation and monitoring progress of a new practice. When presented effectively, data can be compelling evidence, a call to action, an answer, or a focused question. Participants will learn how data has been used to measure and celebrate change during the Early Intervention Service Delivery: Coaching Across Setting rollout and discuss how to make it happen at the local level. |

Implementing a new practice takes time and effort. Although it is important to identify challenges in order to find solutions, it is equally important to define what success will look like. This session will encourage participants to define success at their local level and celebrate the champions who are making small successes along the way. |
