Are you using surveys to understand how coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting child care providers in your state, territory, or tribe? If so, then please join us for a webinar, Using Child Care Provider Surveys To Inform Policy Responses to COVID-19, on July 30, 2020, at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

This webinar aims to support Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) lead agency staff, their research partners, and others collecting information from child care providers during the pandemic. Speakers will share what has worked in recent surveys fielded in Louisiana and Virginia and some early findings from those surveys. Participants will learn tips for writing good survey questions and will learn about a new list of COVID-19-related surveys and data analyses of child care providers and parents across the United States.

This webinar will be hosted by the Child Care Research and Evaluation Capacity Building Center, with support from the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation within the Administration for Children and Families. It will be the first in a series of webinars on Building CCDF Lead Agencies’ Capacities To Use Data To Inform Policy Responses to COVID-19.

The speakers are:

• Daphna Bassok, Associate Professor, University of Virginia, and Associate Director, EdPolicyWorks
• Jenna Conway, Chief School Readiness Officer, Virginia Department of Education
• Julia Isaacs, Director, Child Care Research and Evaluation Capacity Building Center, and Senior Fellow, Urban Institute
