Since improving results and ensuring compliance is an ongoing process the six steps of inquiry should be used as an iterative cycle as infrastructure and practice improvements continue to be made.  \nThe contents of this product were developed under grants from the U.S. Department of Education, \\#H326P170001 (ECTA Center),\\#H373Z190002 (DaSy), and \\# H326R190001 (NCSI) . However, those contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the U.S. Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government. Project Officers: Julia Martin Eile, Meredith Miceli, Amy Bae, and Perry Williams.  \nIn April 2010, a National Think Tank on Streamlining and Integrating Part C General Supervision Activities: Monitoring and Program Improvement was convened to develop resources and materials to help states identify where and how monitoring and program improvement activities could be streamlined and better integrated to meet both state needs and national reporting requirements. This think tank of state coordinators and TA center representatives was convened to address a growing need for streamlining and integrating the various general supervision activities with the newly required Annual Performance Report (APR), including using states' data systems for monitoring.  \nThe think tank also refined a six-step framework, originally conceptualized by Western Regional Resource Center (WRRC) in July 2009. An online interactive guide based on the proceedings of the think tank, Streamlining and Integrating Part C General Supervision Activities: Monitoring and Program Improvement was published in 2010 and updated in 2012. The six steps in this guide are heavily focused on the basics related to identifying and correcting noncompliance.  \nIn the decade since this guide was first published, state Part C lead agencies have made significant progress in streamlining general supervision activities and in developing general supervision methods focused on improving outcomes for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. Increasingly, state Part C general supervision systems continue to ensure that local early intervention programs are compliant with IDEA requirements but now also focus on improving outcomes for children and families. As a result, local programs are taking on more responsibility for both ensuring compliance and improving outcomes.  \nThe Early Childhood Technical Assistance (ECTA) Center, in collaboration with the National Center for Systemic Improvement (NCSI) and the Center for IDEA Early Childhood Data Systems (DaSy) , completed this guide in February 2021 to reflect the changing general supervision context in states and OSEP's focus on Results Driven Accountability (RDA) . The guide continues to be organized according to a similar six-step process and addresses the increasing focus on improving results while ensuring compliance.  \nThe reader should note this resource is not intended to guide the development of a state's complete accountability and quality improvement system.
