As We Begin the Next Year s ERSEA Process, We Are Using the Cycle of Inquiry to Understand If We Are Reaching the Highest-Need Populations in Pursuit of Eliminating the Opportunity Gap Focus of this Inquiry Who are we serving in our early learning program? Are we serving those children most likely to be affected by the opportunity gap? Are there populations that we are serving too little? Too much? What else do we need to know to understand if we are serving the right populations to achieve our mission? How does this information relate to our work to reach children most likely to be affected by the opportunity gap? 2012 Public Consulting Group, Inc. 1
To Better Understand the Children and Families Served by Our Early Learning Program, We Compared Our Program Demographics Overall and by Region to the High-Need Elementary Schools in our Region and Sub-Regions PSESD Title I-Eligible Schools includes Title I-eligible schools that serve grades PK/K in districts where PSESD has at least one early learning site:* Auburn (Region 2) Bellevue (Region 4) Bethel (Regions 1, 5) Clover Park (Regions 1, 2, 5) Eatonville (Region 1) Enumclaw (Regions 1, 2) Federal Way (Regions 2, 3) Fife (Region 1) Franklin Pierce (Regions 1, 2) Highline (Regions 3, 4) Issaquah (Region 4) Kent (Regions 2, 3) Lake Washington (Region 4) Northshore (Region 4) Orting (Region 1) Peninsula (1) Puyallup (1, 2) Renton (3) Riverview (4) Shoreline (3) Skykomish (4) Snoqualmie Valley (4) Steilacoom (2) Sumner (1) Tacoma (1, 2, 5) Tahoma (3) Tukwila (3) University Place (1, 2) White River (1) *Note that Seattle schools are excluded give the size of Seattle schools and the fact that only one small PSESD early learning site is located in Seattle. Where districts are part of more than one district, the district s Title I-eligible schools are included in each regional analysis. The number and size of PSESD EL sites in each school district vary widely. Title I-eligible schools are based on FPRL percentage in a school. All schools at or above 75% FRPL are required to receive Title I funds; 2 schools at or above 35% FRPL are Title I eligible, unless the district average FRPL is less than 35% in which case schools with FRPL % down to the district average are eligible. Title I funding is determined by each district, typically based on FRPL percentage and grand span.

Small Group Discussion In small groups, we will discuss the data for the Early Learning program as a whole (slides 2-5), and for the region of your small group. (Everyone should be sitting at a table with others from the same region.) Which of these findings confirms what you already knew, or what you would have expected? What surprised you? What does this information spark for you in terms of your work? How is it relevant to your work? What questions does the data bring up for you? What additional information or analysis would you like to see to deepen the inquiry and think about implications? Use flipcharts to note 1) surprises, 2) relevance to your work, and 3) questions/other data you d like to see. Each group will share back with the larger group. 21
