Science-Based Innovation

A one-day training on the FOI approach to program development and evaluation

This one-day training will provide participants with an overview of the IDEAS Impact Framework, a promising new approach for innovation in program development and evaluation, and implications of this approach for early childhood programs. This includes a set of tools that support translating science into practice in order to learn more about how an intervention works, for whom, and in what contexts. This model is designed to help teams develop stronger programs, optimize evaluation efforts, and engage in rapid-cycle learning.

For information on the Fall 2018 training, please fill out the short form below and we’ll contact you with details.
