Children in the States 2003

Data related to children at the state and local levels are often difficult to obtain and lack any kind of comparison to surrounding states or a national average. A source of concise, current data is available from the web site sponsored by the Children?s Defense Fund listed below.
Tips for Teachers and Trainers: Ask students/trainees to find data for your state and compare it with the national average.

• How does your state stack up?
• If your state is below the national average, ask students/trainees to find out what current initiatives are underway to improve the education, health and care of your state?s youngest children.
• If your state is above the national average, what efforts (advocacy, legislation, policy) have made this commitment to young children possible?
