Effort and Effect Cascade

What is the Effort & Effect Cascade?

The Effort and Effect Cascade is a visual that shows how efforts and effects are connected within a program at multiple levels (i.e., leadership, coaches, practitioners, children and families).

Why is the Effort & Effect Cascade important for PBC-DIDM?

The Effort and Effect Cascade shows how program efforts and effects at multiple levels can be aligned or work together. The Cascade helps all team members within a program to consider their role within PBC-DIDM and how their individual and collective efforts can promote  practitioner, child, and family outcomes or effects. The Cascade can also inform discussions about available and additional data needed for making data-informed decisions.

How could we use this information in our program?

The PBC-DIDM Effort and Effect Cascade module will help teams and individuals to learn more how to use the Cascade to: align efforts and effects, identify available and needed sources of data, and engage others in conversations about data-informed decision making.
