Foster Care and Education Data Capacity and Needs Self-Assessment Appendix Toolbox

This Self-Assessment Toolbox provides a set of tools designed to help child welfare agencies, education agencies, and their partners assess their capacity to collect, share, and use data effectively to improve educational outcomes for youth in foster care. While its companion document (Foster Care and Education Data Guide: A Process and Tools for Collection, Analysis, and Collaboration) provides foundational principles, strategies, and processes, this Toolbox offers practical tools and templates for conducting a targeted self-assessment at the data capacity and readiness stages of self-assessment efforts.
