Proposed Desired Results for Children and Families Children are personally and socially competent. Children are effective learners. Children show physical and motor competence. Children are safe and healthy. Families support their child's learning and development.
Families achieve their goals.
Evaluation and Accountability Desired Results for Children and Families is being designed to answer the following questions on an ongoing and periodic basis, so that CDD has the information needed to monitor the achievement of desired results and compliance with program performance standards. Using this information, systemwide program improvement efforts can then be targeted to maximize benefits to children and families. The desired results structure will measure results both at the program level as well as at the system level. The most basic assumption behind this structure is that no single program and no single type of program is capable of achieving any of the desired results by itself, and therefore no program or type of program can be held accountable for that achievement or lack of achievement. Achievement of desired results is accomplished by the combined working of all of the components of the CDE child care and development program system, conditioned, of course, by the larger environment within which children and families live.
