The PDG-R team will work on the following for ECIDS development:

• Establish memorandums of understanding between state agencies to facilitate data sharing to support research, analysis, decision making, and data protection.
• Conduct Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) for ECIDS, beginning with an analysis and plan with options for creating a statewide data system that allows for horizontal and longitudinal data alignment for analysis and reporting.
• Initiate PALS for the quality rating and improvement system (QRIS), Workforce Registry and Consumer Education/Parent Portal.
