Outcomes 101: ECO Q&A
return to Q&A HomeQ. Can a state adapt the Child Outcomes Summary Form (COSF)?
A. A state can adapt some features of the COSF. For example, a state can change the formatting so all three outcomes fit on one page. Some states have elected not to use numbers and are only using words to describe the seven points on the scale. Features of the COSF that cannot be changed include the number of points on the scale (i.e., states cannot make it a 5-point scale) and the definition for each point.
