CL 5213 - Implementing and Sustaining Evidence-Based Community Change - Externship (3)

This course presents frameworks for implementing effective program and research interventions. As the students understand and work through implementation frameworks, they will learn how programs and research interventions can achieve targeted fidelity and intended outcomes in a sustainable manner while enhancing their leadership competency and confidence. This course will provide a practical and conceptual bridge for supporting the effective delivery of the students’ programs and research interventions in ways that will help the students create and lead sustainable evidence-based or empirically informed practices. The course is offered in an independent studies format asking students to log 30 hours of time implementing their approved capstone proposal. The students’ learning will be evidenced in an end of the course presentation to academic and community leaders.

It may be taken at any time in the final half of the student’s program, but it must be completed before CL 5203.
