Summary
Home Works is an evidence-based program that partners with Missouri families and teachers to strengthen the bridge between home and school. With programs that have reached more than 120 schools since the organization was founded in 2007, Home Works manages an abundance of data about ongoing efforts to build connections among teachers, students, and families. After developing a new theory of change in 2024, Home Works leaders wanted to ensure that their data collection, analysis, and dissemination were aligned with their programmatic goals. This Practice Brief presents a case study on the approach Home Works used to improve that alignment.
