** Getting it Right Webinar Summer Series Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------

Join us for the second installment of an informative and engaging three-part Getting it Right Webinar Summer Series ([link removed]) highlighting specific topics and issues related to the Foundation’s new publication, Getting it Right: Using Implementation Research to Improve Outcomes in Early Care and Education ([link removed]) . It is time for the early care and education (ECE) field – researchers, policymakers, and practitioners – to get it right by using implementation research to understand what it takes to strengthen outcomes for all young children.

PART 2 | Implementation research in early care and education
Date: Tuesday, August 18, 2020
Time: 2-3:30PM EDT

ECE programs do not follow a single program model. Understanding program purpose, context, setting, and the surrounding conditions all contribute to our understanding of how programs, practices, and policies vary in implementation. The conversation will examine several implementation research frameworks and approaches, highlight the contribution of qualitative research, and underscore the importance of equity-focused implementation research. Through implementation research, we can learn about how and why a program works, under what conditions, and for whom.

In this webinar, presenters will highlight key takeaways from the publication as it attempts to answer several questions for the field. What can we learn from implementation research principles to lead ECE programs, practices, and policies to better outcomes for young children? How can various implementation research designs address questions relevant to the field? How is improvement science different from implementation science? How are qualitative studies helping us understand variation across sites and localities implementing evidence-based programs? How can equity-focused implementation research be an effective tool for reducing bias in evaluations?
