The Center on the Developing Child is pleased to host its Science-Based Innovation Training this spring, and registration is now open. Participants from a broad range of settings are encouraged to attend, including program developers and anyone who works with (or is in a position to support) young children or their families.
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.

Date: April 2, 2018
Time: 5:30-7pm EDT
Location: Longfellow Hall, 13 Appian Way, Cambridge, MA 02138
This event is free and open to the public.
Understanding both the biology of adversity and the science of early learning is essential for building a strong foundation for reducing disparities in educational achievement. The benefits of evidence-based curricula in the early childhood years cannot be fully achieved without effective strategies for preventing the consequences of toxic stress.
