Educators and community leaders serving children, youth, and families are faced with so many alternatives when it comes to educating students and delivering child care and social services: in approach, curricula, textbooks, and pedagogy.
Solid evaluation of the available options is critical to understanding which approaches work best.
WestEd helps schools, districts, community organizations, and other agencies understand whether a program is doing what it was intended to do, whether it was implemented properly, and how it could be improved.
