NAECR updating Early Childhood Measures Exchange |
|
NAECR’s Early Childhood Measures Exchange is designed to help researchers find, explore and access early childhood assessments available from other NAECR researchers. The online tool increases access to early childhood assessments and supports collaboration around measurement.
The Exchange lists researchers who have: 1) copies of direct assessments they are willing to let other researchers borrow; 2) copies of direct assessments they are willing to let other researchers examine; and/or 3) expertise in a specified direct assessment.
We are in the process of updating the Exchange. Please complete the following survey to add your measures and assessments to the list. If you currently have assessments listed on the Exchange, complete the survey to make any edits to the listings.
