Measuring Success
The Children’s Board promotes accountability through our
performance measurement efforts. From gathering information based on local and national research to regularly listening to community stakeholders and program participants, we rely on these insights to help guide our strategic focus. Our funded programs strive to achieve selected outcomes from the four focus areas that are based on the specific services they provide and the participants they serve. To achieve the maximum impact of our funding, the Children’s Board and our funded partners:
- Provide high-quality services that utilize best practices and evidence-based programming;
- Collect and analyze data from research-based
measurement tools; - Work in partnership to evaluate overall effectiveness throughout the year;
- Maintain ongoing communication with families to improve services.
