State Lists Kids Programs that Work

By |

If you’re looking for evidence-based programs that work, the Governor’s Office for Children and Families is providing a list that focuses on kids.  It’s called the Compendium of Best and Promising Programs and Practices for Systems of Care. The programs are listed by result area, strategy and target age.  It has categories for things you might be focused on, such as “Early Childhood” and “Ensuring School Readiness.” Each program lists evidence levels: proven, promising or screened.
