Evidence-Based Programming Across Cooperative Extension

Evidence-based programming enables CE professionals to use and enhance programs that have already proven effective, saving time and effort. Communities directly benefit from the accelerated adoption of proven programs demonstrating the potential for measurable local impact.

Convo 2 Spotlight: Evidence in Extension

 

We were delighted to have both returning and new participants in our second convening, February 7, 2022, to explore how evidence can be identified in Extension.

Our three breakout rooms focused on the following questions and generated common themes found in the attached infographic.

  1. At what level do the vast majority of Extension programs achieve evidence?
  2. Identifying what level of evidence Extension should aspire.
  3. What do professionals need to achieve evidence.

We also considered how to define common terms used to talk about evidence that were identified in our first conversation.

The results of this session will be presented at our next convening on March 7.  Register to Join. Find more opportunities to connect in this group's calendar.
