We recognize our partners need ongoing assistance with data, and NST staff are here to provide technical assistance and additional staff capacity.
Developing a shared measurement system is essential to collective impact.
Collecting data and measuring results consistently on a short list of indicators at the community level and across all participating organizations ensures that efforts remain aligned.
Building off the research provided by StriveTogether and informed by our local county networks, North State Together identified key “cradle to career” benchmarks that frame the efforts in each county and provide guideposts for our region as a whole. The regional indicators will be shared across the region and data about each will be provided to each county.
In addition, each county will set local indicators within the regional support framework that align with the vision of each county’s collective impact network. Reach Higher Shasta, Expect More Tehama, Advancing Modoc, Trinity Together Cradle to Career Partnership, and Cradle to Careers for Siskiyou will each set their own benchmarks and create their own county level roadmap and action plans for addressing the priority area(s) that most resonates with their needs and goals.
These six core outcome areas are informed by research as reliable predictors for a child’s educational success:
Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot is a tool kindergarten teachers may use to assess and store information about incoming kindergarten students’ kindergarten readiness levels. The “Snapshot” screens readiness in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional/physical skills.

North State Together provides Chronic Absenteeism data for our region using data from the California Department of Education. A “chronic absentee” has been defined in EC Section 60901(c)(1) as “a pupil who is absent on 10 percent or more of the school days in the school year when the total number of days a pupil is absent is divided by the total number of days the pupil is enrolled and school was actually taught in the regular day schools of the district, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays.”

The CCI shows how well local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools are preparing high school students for success after graduation, whether in postsecondary education or in a career. For this reason, the CCI consists of both college- and career-readiness measures. This flyer contains the college-readiness measures.

In some facilities, the number of child care spaces is greater than the number of children who can be cared for. As a result, the number of spaces likely overestimates the quantity of child care that is available. Child care centers are facilities that provide care for infants, preschoolers, and/or school-age children during all or part of the day. These facilities may be large or small and can be operated independently by nonprofit organizations or by churches, school districts, or other organizations. Most child care centers are licensed by the California Dept. of Social Services (CDSS). In family child care homes, care for up to 14 children is offered in the home of the provider, often a parent; care is typically provided for children of a variety of ages. Family child care homes also are licensed by CDSS.
