New Briefs on Implementing & Replicating Practices in Out-of-School Programs


   
  Child Trends released two new briefs in its series on fostering the adoption of evidence-based practices in out-of-school time programs: 
   
  1)  Implementing Evidence-Based Practices: Six "Drivers" of Success  
   
  The implementation of a new program or practice can be a major challenge for program providers.  Implementing Evidence-Based Practices: Six "Drivers" of Success defines implementation; highlights why the effective implementation of evidence-based practices is critical to achieving outcomes; and outlines six core components or "drivers" of successful program implementation.
   
  2)  Seven Activities for Enhancing the Replicability of Evidence-Based Practices
   
  While research can show "what works" in programs, it is often difficult for program providers to replicate results in a variety of environments. Seven Activities for Enhancing the Replicability of Evidence-Based Practices describes the essential components of replicable programs and outlines seven key activities that program developers and researchers can conduct to enhance replicability of effective program models.
   
   
             Child Trends' Research-to-Results Initiative examines "what works" in programs and interventions for children and youth; provides research-based guidance to out-of-school time programs; and evaluates youth-serving programs.
