 Changing the Conversation about Workforce
Development: Getting from Inputs to Outcomes
In this report the Harvard Family Research
Project looks within and across four human service sectors -- early
childhood, child welfare, juvenile justice, and youth development --
along with public school education, to determine what research and
evaluation reveal about the ways investments in the workforce lead to
better child and youth outcomes.
The review of the empirical research resulted in
a preliminary framework, or logic model, describing how workforce
elements could lead to improved outcomes. Based on the review of existing
research and an overview of promising new research and development
efforts, the authors make specific recommendations for future research
and evaluation that should stimulate broader discussion within and across
the four sectors. |
