Our Indicators

Art by 2nd Grader at Sandy Ridge Elementary School

The table below lists the North Carolina Early Childhood Action Plan measures that have been prioritized for Durham. These are population level measures that track directional progress as we implement the above recommendations and strategies. These measures were prioritized as they are: accessible at the County level; reported consistently; track progress towards addressing root cause challenges; and focused on the areas where Durham lags behind the state and comparable counties. Implementing the recommendations will create positive change that can also be measured at the individual and organizational levels. The action plans also share ways to hear more from parents and collect data that does not currently exist at the population level.
