ECO Center Releases Proposed
Early Childhood Outcomes for Comment
Early Childhood Outcomes
Center, January 4, 2004
The Early Childhood Outcomes Center (ECO Center) recently released their
proposed outcomes for children and families involved with Part C and Part
B preschool (619).
The Early Childhood Outcomes (ECO) Center is seeking reactions and
feedback on a set of child and family outcomes for the Part C and Part B
Preschool Programs. The ECO Center was funded to undertake a series of
activities that ultimately will result in consistent and high-quality data
on child and family outcomes.
The ECO Center will revise the outcomes based on the comments and submit
these to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The
outcomes submitted will be the ECO Center's recommendation, not the
outcomes on which the states will be asked to report. OSEP will decide and
announce the final outcomes it will be using.
All comments must be received by January 21, 2005, to be considered for
inclusion in ECO recommendations to OSEP.
