Using Implementation Science for Lasting Youth Outcomes

Ever had a great idea or an amazing evidence-based practice you wanted to implement, but you didn’t know how, it didn’t turn out the way you wanted or outcomes were much lower than anticipated?

These consultations will:

Guide program and school administrators through the process of using Implementation Science to take research or evidence-based practices from “knowing to doing” to maximize child outcomes.

Leaders will:

-determine best ways to choose a practice that fits with their school or organization,

- develop streamlined communication plans,

-build an implementation team

-understand and use the Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycle to learn about what’s working and modify supports for implementation.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
