Case Studies

Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning

In partnership with the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL), SRC is leading an implementation evaluation to identify successful community-based strategies in Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) funded Community Innovation Zones that are engaging and supporting families. SRC is leading the development of the research design and questions, the identification of metrics and measures, development of surveys and the collection and analysis of data using various methods such as stakeholder interviews and focus groups. A comprehensive analysis and report summarizing findings and describing effective strategies will assist OCDEL in identifying and investing in promising programs that implement successful early childhood family engagement strategies.
