This PowerPoint presentation accompanies a webinar that examines ways in which quality rating improvement systems (QRIS) data can be used to improve workforce development and early childhood education programs, in addition to supporting research, evaluation, and assessment. Presenters from Knowledge Universe Education share case studies and opportunities for using QRIS data. A representative from Michigan's QRIS, Great Start to Quality, discusses their rating process, along with accessible data sources used to inform practice and policy implementation at both the state and regional levels.
