Improving Outcomes for Children and Families: The IDEAS Impact Framework
This webinar introduces the IDEAS Impact Framework and strategies for building evidence of impact, promoting shared learning, and using data to drive continuous improvement in early childhood programs, services, and systems.
The Early Childhood Developmental Health Systems (ECDHS): Evidence to Impact Center hosted “Improving Outcomes for Children and Families: The IDEAS Impact Framework” on Monday, October 30, 2023.
About the IDEAS Impact Framework
To achieve breakthrough outcomes at the population level, we need a structured but flexible approach that facilitates early childhood program development, implementation, testing, evaluation, and fast-cycle iteration. The IDEAS Impact Framework, housed within the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard, is a rigorous design process for developing, testing, deploying, and iterating early childhood programs. IDEAS stands for:
- Innovate to solve unmet challenges
- Develop a usable program with clear and pr.ecise theory of change.
- Evaluate the theory of change to determine what works for whom and why.
- Adapt in rapid-cycle iterations.
- Scale promising programs.
