Evidence-Based Practices Institute


Institute Overview

The Institute offers guidance to institutional teams on incorporating quality, equity, and evidence of effectiveness into institutional practices and programs to more intentionally advance and accelerate Latino, and all, student success, drawing on Excelencia’s experience of more than 20 years with evidence-based practices that work for Latino students. Institute offers institutional teams 18 hours of technical assistance support during the virtual Institute and follow-up sessions to learn: 1) elements of program evaluation to measure programs and practices that advance Latino student success; 2) strategies to demonstrate the impact of programs and practices on accelerating Latino student success; and 3) different approaches to document intentionality using disaggregated data as evidence of effectiveness from representatives of Seal of Excelencia certified institutions and Examples of Excelencia recognized programs. For more information, read our Overview.
