This resource provides you with an overview of how programs can use data to engage families and support each family’s progress. Specifically, it describes two helpful approaches for using family related data. The first is a set of guiding principles— The Four R Approach (Responsible, Respectful, Relevant, and Relationship‐based). The second is a cycle of data activities—The Four Data Activities (Prepare, Collect, Analyze and Aggregate, Share and Use). These principles and activities build on current knowledge about using data in a cycle of continuous learning and improvement.About
