Newsletter Notes Federal Initiatives That Boost Indicators & Evidence
Several new federal initiatives give a strong role to measurement--both performance measures and well-being indicators--as a means for identifying needs and documenting improvement. The Spring 2010 issue of The Child Indicator summarizes these initiatives--Race to the Top, the Investing in Innovation Fund, Promise Neighborhoods, and the Social Innovation Fund. The newsletter also highlights recently released reports on indicators of child well-being, including:
- KIDS COUNT report on early reading proficiency
- Young America's Future: Latino Child Well-Being in Numbers and Trends
- Reports related to the transition to adulthood
- Recently released data on medical care for young adults, infant and teen mortality, demographic characteristics of U.S. mothers, and more
