The Kansas Strengthening Families plan was initiated by the Kansas Children's Cabinet to prevent child abuse and neglect. Over 80 stakeholders including a 14-member leadership team developed a strategic plan, materials, and website to support community planning. The plan capitalizes on the Children's Cabinet's role as a neutral convener and integrates prevention efforts into existing systems and programs. Challenges include the time needed to develop new partnerships, guide progress, integrate projects, and evaluate systems-level versus program-level changes.

High-Impact Projects at a Glance: Displays from the 2014 Institute
During the summer High-Impact Institutes, teams spend about half of the time working collaboratively to create their strategies and plans for making civic engagement and community engaged learning deeper, more pervasive, and more integrated. This includes identifying new or existing high-impact educational practices (like First Year Experience or Internships) to connect with community engagement. It also includes finding ways to create, deepen and enhance community partnerships so that they integrate high-impact community engagement practices (like Place, Voice, Reciprocity, Sequence, Teams, and Inquiry).
Towards the end of the Institute, teams present their plans for feedback from other teams (peers) and coaches, reinforcing the learning community. In 2014, teams from Cohorts 1 and 2 presented their plans visually, on display boards, and networked with others to explain them in a charette session. Teams from Cohort 3, which began in 2014, then presented the next day verbally (not pictured).
These slides and photos capture some of the teams' plans and displays.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldaba
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling.

Task Force Reviewand%20 Charge[1]
The South Carolina Early Childhood Quality Standards Task Force was charged with developing quality standards for early childhood programs serving children ages 0-4. In developing their recommendations, the Task Force gathered input from national experts, state program experts, stakeholders, and South Carolina citizens. Two overarching themes that emerged were that high-quality early childhood programs focus on nurturing relationships between teachers and children, and specialized training is important for early childhood providers. The Task Force's recommendations would establish a quality rating system, provide support and training for programs and practitioners, ensure accountability, and link funding to quality improvements. The recommendations were required to have an evidence base, be realistic, and address whether standards would be fully-funded or phased in.

About AASA
The American Association of School Administrators, founded in 1865, is the professional
organization for over 14,000 educational leaders across the United States and in other
countries. AASA's mission is to support and develop effective school system leaders who
are dedicated to the highest quality public education for all children.

Foreword
School system leaders are discovering the power of data for promoting school improvement.
With recent advances in technology and the increased demand for assessing student learning,
an unprecedented amount of data are available to educators. School districts across America are
beginning to use the tools necessary to make effective use of the data. In addition to test scores,
many educators are collecting data about citizenship, character, healthy lifestyles, school climate
and parental and community involvement.
One superintendent reflected that “We spend a lot of time on testing but not much time on
what to do with the test results.” As educators shift their focus from simply reporting test results
to using the data to improve instruction, data become essential ingredients in school improve-
ment. Educators know that the effective use of data can measure student progress, evaluate
program and instructional effectiveness, guide curriculum development and resource allocation,
promote accountability and, most importantly, ensure that every child learns.
Using Data to Improve Schools: What’s Working is an easy-to-read guide to using data to drive
school improvement. School system leaders and their staffs can learn from this book how to
build a districtwide culture of inquiry that values the use of data for sound decision-making.
School board members, parents and community members interested in helping improve schools
will find tools for their work as well in this guide. It describes the challenges and the successes of
educators from districts both large and small committed to using data.
We are sure that you will find this guide useful in your ongoing efforts to provide leadership
to your schools and communities.

Provocative Questions
Presentation from the final session of the 2009 Strengthening Families Leadership Summit in Atlanta, GA. Slides show recommended actions from each of 7 sessions where participants discussed provocative questions about the future of Strengthening Families. Themes are shared at the conclusion of the presentation.
Strengthening Families in Child Welfare Professional Development
This document discusses embedding the Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework into professional development for child welfare staff. It notes that children ages 0-5 are the fastest growing group entering the child welfare system and that stable families are key to children's stability and optimal development. The goals are to better meet young children's needs, support families served by child welfare, and build community prevention activities. It outlines the six protective factors and provides examples of how staff can support families in each area and promote trauma-informed practices.
Introduction to the Quality Improvement Center on Early Childhood
The document summarizes the Quality Improvement Center on Early Childhood (QIC-EC), a 5-year cooperative agreement between the Children's Bureau and the Center for the Study of Social Policy. The QIC-EC aims to generate evidence and new knowledge on child maltreatment prevention and optimal child development outcomes. It will fund research and demonstration projects and dissertation work. The expected long-term outcomes include improved child development, reduced child maltreatment, and strengthened collaborations across child services.
Research Supporting Sf Protective Factors 02 19 09
This document summarizes research on protective factors that help prevent child maltreatment. It discusses that building protective factors in individuals, families, and communities is more effective than risk reduction alone. Protective factors studied include child, parent/family, and social/environmental factors. The Strengthening Families protective factors framework focuses on parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting/child development, concrete support, and children's social-emotional competence. Research on adverse childhood experiences links exposure to abuse/neglect with negative health and behavioral outcomes. Studies also examine parental and childhood resilience as protective against stress.
The Research Behind Strengthening Families Aug 2006
The document outlines the research process behind the Strengthening Families initiative, which aims to identify factors that reduce child abuse and neglect. It involves 5 steps: 1) searching for evidence on reducing abuse and neglect, 2) exploring connections between preventative factors and early childhood programs, 3) identifying programs that build these factors, 4) learning about policy changes to implement the model statewide, and 5) continuous learning with implementing states. It then discusses gathering input from experts, implementing the model through a 7 state pilot program, the hallmarks of statewide implementation, and the partnership between pilot states and the national initiative to share knowledge and lessons learned.
CB-CAP Tennessee (2-19-09)
The document discusses Tennessee's efforts to strengthen families through early childhood care and education programs. It aims to embed protective factors for families and children across all systems. Tennessee formed a steering committee which recommended the state hire a coordinator and parenting liaisons to teach early childhood centers the strengthening families model. The liaisons are working to help centers support families and reframe their work around protective factors. They are also working to promote the importance of quality early childhood care within the child welfare system.
Minnesota - Parent Engagement
The document discusses Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota's Civic Parent Leadership Program which aims to build partnerships between parents and professionals to prevent child abuse and neglect. The program establishes a Parent Leadership Team that advises Prevent Child Abuse Minnesota and provides oversight of local chapters. It also creates a statewide Parent Leadership Team in partnership with the Department of Human Services and Minnesota Children's Trust Fund to develop prevention plans. Quotes from professionals emphasize the importance of meaningful parent partnerships in developing family support policies and programs.
SF and ECCS in IL (1.9.09)
This document discusses the collaboration between Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems (ECCS) and Strengthening Families Illinois (SFI) at the state and local levels in Illinois. ECCS is housed within the Illinois Department of Human Services and coordinates various state-level collaboratives and initiatives focused on early childhood. SFI, within the Department of Children and Family Services, aims to embed protective factors into early childhood settings to strengthen families and prevent child abuse. At the local level, SFI Learning Networks and All Our Kids Early Childhood Networks collaborate through referrals and shared training opportunities focused on protective factors.
Strengthening Families and ECCS (1.9.09)
This document discusses efforts to strengthen families and connect them to early childhood comprehensive systems (ECCS). It describes how Strengthening Families began as a search for a new approach to child abuse prevention that is universally available and focused on protective factors like parental resilience and social connections. The research identified programs that build these factors. Implementation includes training, action planning, funding, and professional development to support protective factors and quality early care. Strengthening Families networks in 26 states and can contribute to ECCS by defining family support and bringing partners together around common goals like child abuse prevention.
Sfnn Call 11 17 08
This document summarizes a teleconference/webinar about the Strengthening Families network. It discusses planned changes to the network in 2009, including streamlining activities and focusing on key issues like early childhood and child welfare linkages. It also outlines several states' efforts to improve collaboration between early childhood programs and child welfare systems to better serve children and families.
Build Oct 08
This document discusses the importance of families and protective factors that help families support healthy development in children. It describes the key protective factors as parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, and access to concrete support. It also outlines various programs and services like home visiting, early childhood education, and family resource centers that aim to build these protective factors and support families.
Sf Id Tot Protecting Children By Strengthening Families
The document discusses Idaho's Strengthening Families trainings, which aim to prevent child abuse and neglect and improve child care quality. The trainings are delivered over 17 hours in 8 modules and use an experiential learning model. Participants and trainers report that the research-based, well-designed trainings are effective in changing behaviors and strengthening relationships between child care providers, parents, and children. The trainings have led to positive outcomes such as improved communication, identification of at-risk families, and connections to support services.
Implementing SF in ECE Programs
The document discusses how early childhood education programs can help prevent child abuse and neglect by promoting protective factors in families. It outlines several protective factors shown to prevent abuse, including parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting/child development, and children's social-emotional competence. It also describes strategies programs use to strengthen these factors, such as parent education, social support, responding to crises, and observing for early signs of abuse or neglect. Overall, the document argues that early childhood programs are well-positioned to detect and address family issues to prevent child maltreatment.
Implementing Strengthening Families Leadership Team Discussion
The document discusses the Strengthening Families initiative, which aims to promote optimal child development and prevent child abuse. It does this through a framework focused on building protective factors in families and communities, rather than targeting individual risks. The initiative started in early childhood programs but has expanded to other fields. Research identified factors reducing abuse and how programs build these. Pilot programs showed how policy and practice must change to implement the model statewide through partnerships. Now many states and organizations support the approach through leadership teams coordinating efforts across early childhood and social services.
Joint Call 9 9 08
The document discusses an agenda for a meeting covering the following topics:
1. Updates from the national Strengthening Families team and states involved in the initiative.
2. A train-the-trainer program on implementing the Strengthening Families approach in early childhood programs and testimonials of its impact.
3. Plans to track data on Strengthening Families implementation across states, including in early childhood education programs and in collaboration with child welfare.
