Evaluating Results Through Data

ECI uses the Results-Based Accountability™ (RBA) framework for evaluating the results of the initiative.  In Iowa law, the ECI Initiative has five desired results for improving the quality of life in Iowa for young children and their families.  These ‘result areas’ are:

  • Healthy children
  • Children ready to succeed in school
  • Safe and supportive communities
  • Secure and nurturing families
  • Secure and nurturing early learning environments

Community-Wide Indictors

ECI uses measures, called community-wide indicators, to determine progress made toward achieving the result areas.  Community-wide indicators are population measurements and are usually collected by public agencies.  ECI area boards select community-wide indicators to evaluate progress toward the five state result areas. 

The information that follows provides trend data for community-wide indicators adopted by the ECIA board.

Performance Measures

To measure the results of programs and services, the ECI State Board established state-required performance measures for programs and services ECI area boards’ fund.  Performance measures focus on whether customers are better off as a result of the programs and services.  These performance measures also look at the quality and efficiency of the programs and services.  Results-Based Accountability™ asks three simple questions to get at the most important performance measures. 

  • How much did we do?
  • How well did we do it?
  • Is anyone better off?

Programs and services funded by ECI area boards are identified as ‘service types’ and classified under two categories, “direct services” and “indirect services.”  The direct services category includes service types that directly impact the child or family.  Indirect services category includes services types that indirectly impact the child or family.  Below is a list of service types under each category.  The information that follows provides 3-year trend data for state-required performance measures for each service type. For descriptions of each state-required performance measures, click here.  [https://earlychildhood.iowa.gov/document/instructions-statewide-performance-measures

ECI area boards may require additional performance measures for the programs and services the board funds.  The board can add the additional performance measures to the appropriate service type table.  Delete services types your board does not fund.  If the board funds more than one contractor for the service type (i.e., family support/home visitation services), create a copy of the table of performance measures for that service type.  Enter only one contractor’s data in each service type performance measures data table when the board funds more than one contractor for the same service type.
