This document provides instructions for completing an Early Childhood Outcomes Screening Report. The report requires districts to provide data on the number of children screened, outcomes of screenings for vision, hearing, development and growth, referrals made, confirmed health concerns, immunizations, risk factors, screening of dual language learners, planned program improvements, and coordinated screening efforts. Districts must also provide estimated program costs, funding sources, and their biggest implementation challenge.
Promote children's social emotional and behavioral healthlimiacorlin
State policymakers can promote children's social, emotional, and behavioral health through a continuum of strategies. An effective approach establishes aspirations and uses data to drive decisions, measure progress, and ensure accountability. Key elements include supporting healthy development, families, and treatment for those in need. Data on conditions like autism and ADHD in children informs target-setting to improve outcomes. Recommended strategies begin with promoting early childhood social and emotional development through initiatives to increase public understanding and integrating support into existing programs.
Evaluating impact of OVC programs: standardizing our methodsMEASURE Evaluation
This document discusses standardizing methods for evaluating orphan and vulnerable children (OVC) programs. It presents an evaluation toolkit being developed by MEASURE Evaluation to assess the impact of OVC programs on child and household wellbeing over time. The toolkit includes 12 child wellbeing indicators and 3 household wellbeing indicators identified through extensive research. It also includes draft child and caregiver questionnaires to collect data on the indicators. The goal is to provide a standardized approach and tools for evaluating OVC programs globally that can objectively measure impact and be applied across countries. The draft tools will be piloted in several countries in late 2012 and early 2013.
The document discusses the development and testing of a Child Well Being Assessment tool in South Africa. It was adapted from the Core Status Index to assess children's well-being across 8 domains on a quarterly basis. The tool aims to provide a standardized way to monitor children, identify their needs, and ensure resources are appropriately allocated. Over 100 youth facilitators and CCF members have been trained on the tool. Testing is underway and focus groups will provide feedback before it is rolled out more widely. The tool is intended to guide interventions and evaluate the impact of services in moving children from vulnerability to greater well-being.
This document discusses services for children who are deaf or hard of hearing in Washington D.C. It notes that early screening and intervention is important, as is linking children to services after diagnosis. The D.C. Department of Health operates a newborn hearing screening program. It also lists various organizations that provide services like early intervention, specialized education, and support for families in D.C.
The document discusses policies and services for child care centers. It addresses setting policies for fees, hours of operation, holidays, sick children, meals, health and safety issues. Key policies include setting fees based on factors like age and attendance, clearly outlining operating hours, having policies for sick children like symptoms that require keeping children home, and ensuring emergency contact information and health records are on file for all children. The document also provides examples of specific policies from different child care centers.
1) The document provides recommendations for counties to improve and expand infant and early childhood mental health services. It encourages training professionals on social-emotional development, implementing universal screenings of young children, and developing coordinated, integrated systems of care across agencies.
2) Recommendations include increasing public awareness, screening children ages 0-5 for risks, and providing family-focused treatment using evidence-based practices. Services should be culturally sensitive and address the child's overall development.
3) Funding streams like EPSDT often require symptoms meet "medical necessity" thresholds before services can be billed. The report suggests using alternative diagnostic tools and combining funding sources to serve more children.
On April 6, 2019, the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases and Genetic Alliance hosted a workshop to provide education about the process of adding rare genetic conditions to the federal Recommended Newborn Screening Panel. Presentations include insights from national newborn screening experts in biochemical sciences, genetics, and political advocacy.

The Head Start program began in 1965 as part of the War on Poverty to provide preschool children from low-income families with education, health, nutrition and parent involvement services. It serves children ages 3-5 and their families who live below the federal poverty line. Head Start programs provide educational, health, nutrition and social services to enrolled children and families to promote school readiness and engage parents in their children's learning. The program is funded by federal appropriations and administered locally by non-profits and school systems, with over $6.8 billion spent in 2007. Nutrition professionals play roles in menu planning, nutrition education and ensuring children's nutritional needs are met.
The NC DHHS provided updates on its COVID-19 response for K-12 schools.

Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analy
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success. We must be willing and able to take personal action to ensure patients receive the highest quality of healthcare each and every day. The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program with respect to it’s background, goals, outcomes, success, costs and related nursing advocacy opportunities.
Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Description
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, which is more formally known as Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, aims to avoid unnecessary separations between caregivers and their children, protect permanency for children by taking the necessary steps to reunite them with their parents, when possible, or another permanent living situation, and to improve the quality of care and programming services being offered to children and their families to achieve maximum chance for stable families (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Children’s Bureau, 2012).
The PSSF program has recently had two additional programs added, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and abstinence education. The goal of the PREP program is to provide state funding aimed at teen pregnancy prevention, addressing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the adolescent population, as well as teaching teens skills to prepare them for adulthood (ie financial responsibility and organization skills). The abstinence education portion provides grants to individual states to promote education to adolescents regarding delaying sexual activity in an effort to further reduce teen pregnancy rates, but also to promote development of healthy relationships and establishment of healthy boundaries in at-risk populations such as homeless teens or those in foster care (United States Department of Health & Human Services, 2018).
How was the success of the program or policy measured?

The program aims to support at-risk families through home visits and strengthen early childhood systems.
PCG Human Services White Paper - Cross-System Approaches That Promote Child W...Public Consulting Group
Child welfare agencies can successfully partner with Medicaid and managed care organizations to address the complex health and behavioral needs of children who experience maltreatment. If prevention and intervention efforts are applied early and effectively, these high-risk children and youth may avoid costly health conditions and experience improved health and psychological outcomes.
Child abuse and neglect is an important concern that negatively affects the physical and psychological well-being of a population that is already vulnerable. Increased preventive services to children in high-risk households can help states minimize the cost of health/medical services to deep-end youth, reduce the number of children with chronic medical conditions and can improve general well-being outcomes. Providing targeted prevention programs and interventions to these children of at-risk families have been shown to reduce the cost of providing intensive services to children with poor health outcomes later on.
Children who are investigated for maltreatment or enter the child welfare system have greater health needs. Children investigated by the welfare system have been found to have 1.5 times more chronic health conditions than the general population. After controlling for other risk factors, children with maltreatment reports have a 74-100% higher risk of hospital treatment. Over 28% of children involved with maltreatment investigations are diagnosed with chronic health conditions during the three years following the investigation.
Cristina Guerra is applying for a practicum with Open Door Family Medical Center's Wellness Department to implement a children's health education program at St. Ann's Parish School in Ossining, NY from June 24 to November 15, 2014. The program aims to promote healthy eating and physical activity for children ages 3-8 living in a low-income neighborhood. Guerra will adapt lessons from the Eat, Play, Grow! curriculum, develop parent pamphlets, and assess the program's impact through pre/post surveys of children and teachers. The practicum will help Guerra develop competencies in health education, program planning and evaluation, and evidence-based intervention design.
Evaluating and Developing the Early Education Pilot for Two Year OldsMike Blamires
- The document summarizes an evaluation of a UK pilot program that provided free early education to disadvantaged two-year-olds.
- The evaluation found the pilot successfully targeted disadvantaged children but around half of the control group also received childcare.
- Children who attended higher-quality settings saw positive impacts on language and relationships, but most provision was only adequate.
- Based on the findings, the national program was expanded and eligibility criteria were standardized to focus more on economic disadvantage. Quality standards were also strengthened.

Planned Parenthood audited textbooks and curricula used in California school districts' health education classes and found that more than half were not complying with state Education Code requirements to provide comprehensive sexual health education. The report showed some improvement in districts but also areas still needing improvement. Comprehensive sexual health education is important to reduce unintended teen pregnancy and STDs by providing youth with information to make responsible decisions. It gives them tools to be productive members of society while a lack of education increases costs due to issues like unintended pregnancy.
The document discusses the work of the Oregon Public Health Division's Maternal and Child Health Section. The section aims to support healthy pregnancies and childhood so that every child can reach their full potential. It does this through programs that address social determinants of health, community partnerships, home visiting, oral health, screening and referrals, and maternal and child health block grant funding. The section collaborates widely and faces potential funding challenges at the federal and state level.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Early Childhood Outcomes Annual Screening Report Worksheet 6.17.21.pdf
1. 1
Early Childhood Outcomes Screening Report Worksheet
The Early Childhood Outcomes Report will replace the Early Learning Services Screening Report. The report
reflects outcomes known for children screened by public schools, following the July 1 through June 30 screening
year and submitted by August 15 following the screening year. The report is a snapshot of outcomes as
screening and follow-up is ongoing. The screening report and plan are required for final state aid payments, per
Minnesota Rule 3530.3200.
1. Total number of children screened by the public school or a contract
Use the MARSS aid entitlement report to confirm with your MARSS Coordinator that all of the children screened
have been assigned a MARSS PS record by the October 1 following the screening year. Include children screened
by: the public school, through a contract by the public school, Head Start, Child and Teen CheckUps, public
health or clinics, or those whose parents have conscientiously objected. To view the report, select your school,
aid entitlement reports, year, and early childhood screening reports and aid entitlement.
2. Sensory Screening outcomes
Previously known potential concern: Number of children with vision or hearing conditions or diagnoses
reported by parent.
New potential concern: Number of children needing referrals.
Referrals: Number of children who had referrals made for possible vision or hearing concerns.
Referrals confirmed: Confirmation of a concern by a parent or a health provider following a referral. For
example, a diagnosis of an eye or ear condition, glasses prescribed, eye drops, eye patch, hearing aids, impacted
cerumen (ear wax) removal, tympanostomy tubes or myringotomy tube placement, or other conditions. The
child has connected with a health care provider and the condition may or may not be resolved.
List the number of children who received a comprehensive vision exam by age 3, 4, 5, 6. The total will auto-
calculate. Record the total number of parents who, at the time of screening, report their child has ever had a
comprehensive vision exam completed by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist.
2. 2
3. Developmental Screening outcomes
Previously known potential concern: Number of children with developmental conditions or diagnoses reported
by parent.
New Potential Concern: Number of children needing referrals.
Referrals: Number of children who had referrals made for possible developmental concerns
Referrals confirmed: Confirmation of a speech language, cognitive, fine/gross motor or social/emotional
concern by parent report (following a visit to a health care/mental health provider), or special education. The
child may or may not be receiving special education at time of report.
Select developmental screening instrument from the drop down menu. Select a second instrument if used
(optional). Select a social emotional instrument. Select a parent report developmental screening instrument, if
used (optional).
4. Growth screening outcomes
Previously known potential concern: Number of children with height or weight concerns, diagnoses reported by
parent.
New potential concern: Number of children needing referrals.
Referrals: Number of children who had referrals made for possible developmental concerns.
Referrals confirmed: Growth concerns confirmed by parent or a health care provider.
5. Health concerns and lack of health care coverage
Previously known potential concern: Number of children with health concerns or diagnoses reported by parent
including asthma, allergies, anaphylaxis, diabetes, seizures, etc.
New potential concern: Number of children needing referrals.
Referrals: Number of children who had referrals made for potential health concerns. This does not include
routine referrals for well child visits (every year) or routine dental referrals (every 6 months) when no concerns.
Lack of health care coverage: Total number of referrals made for a child who does not have a health care
provider. (Could include referrals for health care insurance also).
Referrals confirmed: Health concerns confirmed by parent or a health care provider.
3. 3
6. Total number of referrals made for immunizations
Report referrals made for children lacking immunizations for age at time of screening. The Minnesota
Department of Health posts immunization data annually by county, district and school, thus MDE no longer
collects this data.
7. Total estimated number of children with a new health or developmental
concern of any type.
Large districts will need to use a spreadsheet or data system to calculate the total number of children with a new
health or developmental referral of any type. Only count a child once even if they have more than one new
potential health or developmental concern.
8. Number of referrals due to risk factors that may influence learning
List the total number of referrals for various early education, adult basic education, literacy or other referrals as
a results of risk factors that may influence learning. Note, one child may have more than one early learning
referral. Indicate if a tool was used: select either: “Child Health and Developmental History,” if used, or “other”.
9. Screening of Dual Language Learners
Select yes or no if the public school has bilingual staff for screening. Select yes or no if the district has or hires
interpreters for screening. Record the number of children receiving interpreter services during screening.
10. Planned changes for next year to continually improve the program
Mark yes or no to indicate planned changes for the following year to continually improve the program.
• Outreach strategies and family engagement.
• Cultural and linguistic responsiveness: Assure staff has training in cultural and linguistic responsiveness.
• Hire bilingual staff and /or interpreters: Consider partnerships with clinics, Head Start, public health or
others to provide these services if public school is unable to hire bilingual staff or interpreters.
• Offer new screening locations to improve access: libraries, public housing or community centers.
• Offer new screening hours, week end or evenings: offer screening times convenient for families.
• Use community based strategies: partner with ethnic/racial or cultural non-profits who know families.
• Parental guidance / health promotion: Assure program provides anticipatory guidance on child
development and health, such as providing information on the Family Resources for the Early Childhood
Indicators of Progress and the Center for Disease Control Developmental Milestone Tracker App in
English or Spanish.
• Follow-up: document and confirm findings: At least 2 attempts are made to reach family.
4. 4
• Linkages with other early childhood programs: Make active referrals by offering to make calls to refer
while family is present, warm hand offs are made by introducing family to program and enrollment staff.
11. Coordinated screening
Note if the public school collaborates to provide screening with Head Start, Health Care Providers, Child and
Teen Checkups or others. Coordination could include:
• screening on site or in conjunction with others,
• sharing copies of screenings done by other providers with districts (with parent release of information),
• advertising by clinics/Head Start of dates of upcoming district screenings in the community,
• scheduling/coordinating screening dates within the 45 calendar days needed for Head Start each fall,
• clinic/district partnership to ‘Close the Loop’ whereby clinics automatically refer to ECS at 3rd
birthday,
• districts share screening results with primary health care provider (with release of information).
12. Estimated screening program cost and funding for required components

administration, follow up process on referrals, travel, rent, screening equipment for vision hearing and growth,
screening instruments, screening of vision, hearing growth, development, health care coverage, immunization
review, risk factors which may influence learning, summary interview with parent / guardian. A cost formula
may be used such as: [number of staff] x [Salary (in hours/days, including training time) and fringe benefits x
[time (in hours or days)] + equipment (and annual calibration costs), screening instruments, travel, rent, and
materials = total cost. (Data is no longer collected on optional components: dental screen, labs, health history,
nutritional assessment or family risk factors). You may wish to speak with district accountant or other
supervisors regarding if there are any estimated district contributions from various programs to ECS. For some
districts there may only be contributions from School Readiness Program, which has statutory language
requiring outreach to 3 year olds for screening.
• Estimated state aid from MARSS Aid Entitlement Report: Select your school, aid entitlement reports,
year, and early childhood screening reports and aid entitlement to view your report.
