CCNY, Community Connections of New York

On June 4th, Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago will steam a free webinar titled "Health, Education, and Child Welfare: Measuring Outcomes across Systems"

As quoted from their website:

"Please join us to examine the performance measures used by sectors serving children and families. Be part of the discussion as experts explore where intersections might work, where they won't, and why, and drill down on such questions as what are the opportunities for developing more effective program design and service integration through performance monitoring? How can monitoring practices across sectors support fiscal responsibility? Where do federal and state policies on performance measurement converge or diverge? How can a child development perspective enable all sectors to identify outcomes and monitor progress?"

Panelists:

Alyna Chien, MD, Division of General Pediatrics, Children's Hospital of Boston, Harvard Medical School

Jane Hannaway, director, Education Policy Center, the Urban Institute; director, CALDER (National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research)

Matthew Stagner, executive director, Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago (moderator)

Fred Wulczyn, research fellow, Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago."
