PFS + ECE: Pay for Success Early Childhood Education Toolkit

Featured
  • Urban Institute
  • 2016

“This toolkit is designed to guide jurisdictions and their partners through the core elements of a PFS project in early childhood education: the existing evidence for early childhood interventions, the role of data, the measurement and pricing of outcomes, program funding and financing, implementation, and evaluation design. The toolkit includes a series of helpful features, including checklists, charts, and questions for consideration, to help direct and clarify thinking around the feasibility of pay for success to scale what works in early childhood education. Together, these briefs can help jurisdictions decide if pay for success is the right approach for them — and if so, how to get started.”

This tool is included in our list of TEN NOTABLE RESOURCES FOR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATION.
