Webinar to be presented on Friday, October 17 (9-10 AM PDT) : Workshop by Del Elliott and David Hawkins on Blueprints Standards and Issues in Identifying Blueprints Programs, presented at the 2014 Blueprints Conference. The Blueprints program review process is described and the standard for certifying programs as evidence-based Model or Promising Blueprint Programs is outlined. The reviews of program evaluations by the Blueprints Advisory Board using this standard reveal a number of common problems with their design and methodology that disqualify them for certification as a Blueprint Program. We will describe eight frequently encountered evaluation issues with the hope that program developers and researchers will design and report their evaluations to address these issues and increase the number of evaluations that meet the Blueprint Standard for certification. read more...
