This year’s conference theme, "Strength in Numbers," is a celebration of a decade of data-informed progress from across our network and an opportunity to discuss our future direction. Join us for our 10th-anniversary celebration. We will look back at the evidence-informed progress we’ve made as a sector but also look forward to the pressing issues of the day. This year the event will take place at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge, MA from May 20–22, 2019.

Capstone Roundtable — How to Produce Actionable Evidence from Program Evaluations Limited seats remain
Limited Capacity filling up

Many large-scale educational interventions are implemented without evidence to support their effectiveness. When this happens, program evaluations are conducted retrospectively using administrative data. However, post-implementation, educational leadership often have a stake in and preconceived notions about the effects of the intervention. For this reason, it can be difficult to sway leadership into action with estimates of general program effects. In this roundtable session, we will discuss case studies of program evaluations conducted in Palm Beach and lessons for working with leadership to establish action plans to ensure that findings are used to improve programs and policies.
