14.024 - Assessing the Impact of Race to the Top: A Multistate Perspective on Lessons Learned

Session Type: Working Group Roundtable

Abstract

This working roundtable session will provide an opportunity for RttT Evaluation Teams from several states to share evaluation approaches, challenges, and lessons learned from large-scale statewide evaluations of a competitive, federally-funded grant. Evaluation teams from the states of North Carolina, Ohio, and Maryland will each focus on separate but complementary components of their RttT Evaluations. A primary outcome of this working roundtable session will be an evaluation brief which details common issues and successful approaches for implementing evaluations at this scale.
