The Promising Practices Database on DataShare
Event Date: June 7 & 9, 2023
When individual practitioners, agencies, and systems decide to address community needs with a new program or initiative, we have many options for choosing one — sometimes, an overwhelming number of options. We can take a good idea and design a program from scratch because we understand the need so well. We can borrow or adapt elements from a program or initiative we’ve heard about, read about, or seen to be effective elsewhere, molding it into something that fits our situation. Or we can rely on various degrees of evidence and testing about whether or not a program has worked under similar conditions.
A database that includes a range of options to meet programs’ needs, from good ideas to effective approaches and evidence-based practices, searchable by topic and key words, is just a few clicks away on DataShare Santa Cruz County. Called the Promising Practices database, it is a “living library” that also offers an exciting option to add local programs unique to our
community.
Watch the video below where we demonstrate how to search for programs and policies, review how the CORE Continuum of Results and Evidence aligns with the database, and share how you can be involved in making the database even more robust and relevant to Santa Cruz County.
