  1. Georgia KIDS COUNT: Accessing Indicator Data for Assessment, Planning, and Evaluation

  2. Training Objectives • Access the AECF “CLIKS” website • Examine the data for your county, region, and Georgia • Understand (some) data limitations • Import data into Excel

  3. Why Do You Want Data? • To describe a problem • To answer a question • To help set priorities • To monitor changes

  4. Data Applications • Magnitude of the problem – number and rate (“Profiles”) • Changes in the scope of the problem (“Line Graphs”) • Relative standing (“Rankings” or “Maps”)

  5. Other (non-data) Considerations • Issue of concern in community (e.g. as demonstrated in survey, focus groups) • “Hot” issue (e.g. funding available) • Organizationally makes sense (e.g. fits with current strategies, new partnership opportunities)

  6. Getting Started • http://www.georgiafamilyconnection.org • Click on “GA Kids Count” (you could now get a county factsheet, or) • Click on “Data Search” (and now you’re on the national Kids Count website) • Save this “url” to your “Favorites”, and you can go directly to the national site.

  7. Getting Started • http://www.georgiafamilyconnection.org • Click on “GA Kids Count” (you could now get a county factsheet, or) • Click on “Data Search” (and now you’re on the national Kids Count website) • Save this “url” to your “Favorites”, and you can go directly to the national site.

  8. Getting a County Profile • Click on your county, School District (city school system), or Other ( Region). • You can browse, print the entire profile (about 16 pages), or copy a table to Excel. • Note that the GA data is presented for comparison – but not the Region. • The 16 pages are dominated by definitions.

  9. Line Graphs • Go to the top of the page and click on “Line Graphs” • Select a geographic area(s) – you can select GA and up to seven counties, or multiple regions, or multiple school districts. But, you cannot mix counties / regions / school districts. • Click on “Next Step”

  10. Line Graphs (cont.) • Select an indicator (note that rates and numbers are available for some indicators) • And, you get a colorful graph (which can be copied and pasted to Excel or PowerPoint), a table of the values used to produce the graph (this table can also be cut and pasted), and the definition of the indicator.

  11. Maps • The site does not currently allow mapping of Regions. • The software divides the counties into four groups with equal numbers. • The map can also be copied and pasted. • FYI, the next slide shows the planning regions.

  12. “Raw” Data • Go back to the CLIKS home page • Click on the “Raw Data” icon • Select Georgia (or another state) • Select the specific file (percent) • Specify “Save” and indicate directory • Repeat for the “numbers” file

  13. “Raw” Data (cont.) • Now you have two Excel files - a rate table and the corresponding numerator (number of events of interest). • Note that you do not have the corresponding denominator. • Your raw data includes values for Georgia, all counties, all FC regions, and city school systems (where applicable).
