The table below outlines several questions that districts might explore when collecting data about their CCMR programs. Ideally, the district would be able to gather data from multiple sources (quantitative outcome data, interviews, focus group, documents related to CCMR programs, etc.) and then triangulate that information to ensure that a variety of sources corroborated the findings. Depending on the district’s needs and the resources available, the district may choose to focus on one or two questions or may engage in a comprehensive inquiry that addresses all of the questions listed below. In a similar manner, for each question, the district may choose to gather information from one data source or draw upon multiple data sources.
