Every institution, regardless of where they are today, can be better tomorrow. Engaging in continuous improvement inspires forward-thinking transformational change and new opportunities. But how do you start with the continuous improvement process? Leveraging the tools and support available through Cognia, participants of this institute will be given the opportunity to:

• Maximize the use of the Cognia improvement platform (formerly eProve™) that supports data-driven strategic thinking and improvement planning
• Identify types of data to support data-driven decision making for continuous improvement
• Examine a model for data analysis and synthesis to drive the work
• Explore the Effective Learning Environments Observation Tool® (eleot®) or the Environmental Rating for Early Learning (erel™) and how they can support the monitoring and implementation of improvement efforts
