Research + Reports

The initial development of CEI was founded upon the community feedback gathered from a series of conversations called the ChatBacks and research continues the guide its evolution. Evaluation activity has increased and become more complex to provide results-based information to guide ongoing and future programming. In 2010, only school tour surveys were being collected by Wadsworth; by the end of 2013, evaluation efforts expanded to include data collection, analysis and reporting for ten programs utilizing multiple strategies and research partners.
