REQUEST FOR TENDER FOR PARENTCHILD+ EXTERNAL EVALUATION
CONTEXT AND RATIONALE:
The Early Learning Initiative (ELI) at National College of Ireland was
developed to address the problem of educational underachievement in
marginalized communities. Building upon tried and tested models of
early years intervention, it is our mission to work with communities
in areas of greatest need to provide world-class parent and child
learning support programmes.
The ParentChild+ programme (formally known as the Parent Child Home
Programme) is an early intervention programme that is introduced to
parents in marginalised communities when their children are between
* months to * months
old. The programme focuses on parents being the agents of change to
children’s successful learning and developmental outcomes during
early childhood and throughout the schooling years.
Since *, more than 1, *
children have taken part in the ParentChild+ programme in Dublin’s
Inner City through ELI. Furthermore, the programme has grown in scale
as ELI now supports * community organisations
around Ireland to implement the ParentChild+ programme. With this
growth, ParentChild+ is at a critical juncture of scaling and
replication. To ensure that the programme continues with high-quality
fidelity and implementation, ELI is seeking proposals from suitably
qualified external researchers to evaluate the ParentChild+ programme
nationally.
The ParentChild+ External Evaluation aims to evaluate the impact and
scalability of ParentChild+ programme.
THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CURRENT STUDY ARE:
* Critically evaluate whether ParentChild+ is having an impact on
children’s development and identify what factors contribute to the
outcome.
* Critically evaluate the scaling of ParentChild+; examine if
replication is working to the same extent and what factors contribute
to the outcome.
* Highlight and discuss emergent themes that arise during the
research process. If scope allows, and in agreement with ELI, follow
relevant themes.
