Using Geographic Information Systems mapping to inform early childhood education policies and programs

Description:
Despite widespread agreement on the educational benefits of ECE and sustained efforts at different levels of government, a large segment of the population remains underserved. The reasons for these gaps are complex and entangled. GIS maps are uniquely capable of combining a lot of disparate, complicated data and presenting state leaders with a clear, informative and actionable picture of which policies and programs are needed in specific places. GIS can be an essential tool for policymakers trying to meet the challenge of increasing access and participation in high-quality, affordable early childhood programs. (author abstract)
