In the summer of 2001, the Center for the Study of Social Policy announced the publication of a series of six learning guides entitled, "Building Capacity for Local Decisionmaking." Since 2001, communities across the country have used the published versions of these tools to influence policy and practice, set common agendas for change, and improve the quality of life for children and families. The Center designed the six guides to be used in combination or independently, and to cover key areas that are important to effective community decisionmaking.
The Policies That Strengthen Families Self-Assessment: Family Economic Success
This self-assessment tool is the first in a series of web-based tools addressing six child and family outcomes: family economic success, school readiness, educational success, healthy families, youth engagement, and strong family relationships. The self-assessment is designed for state-level policymakers and advocates interested in improving policy decisions that achieve results for children and families. The recommendations and benchmarks included in the self-assessment are based upon those found in the Policy Matters publications and discussion papers.
