3 Core Concepts of Healthy Brain Development
Brain Architecture Is Established Early in Life and Supports Lifelong Learning, Behavior, and Health Stable, Caring Relationships and “Serve and Return” Interaction Shape Brain Architecture Toxic Stress in the Early Years of Life Can Derail Healthy Development

Core Components of the IDEAS Framework
A Theory of Change (TOC) is a detailed set of beliefs or hypotheses about specific observable changes that you expect to result from your program. Better understand and further develop your program (as described above). Support fast cycle learning my helping to pin point why, how and for whom an intervention works or doesn’t work. Can help you craft an evaluation plan. Can guide future program and materials development. Contribute to the FOI network and the broader field. Contribute knowledge about how promote positive outcomes for high risk kids. Optimize your evaluation efforts. Theories of change were developed to reduce the chance that you’ll have a “by chance” finding. Its even more important to have TOC in small pilots for statistical evaluation purposes and to be confident in the findings that you have. Side step a common evaluation pitfall. The FOI approach to TOC is different from what’s typically done. What’s typically done is a program is created a large number of things are outcomes are measured. Programs either tend to measure parenting outcomes or child outcomes but it’s rare that a project measures both. Even when programs identify targets, they are rarely measured.

Provide information about Serve & Return and 5 FIND Elements Conduct Video Coaching (uses FIND frame-by-frame analysis) Engage caregiver in focused discussions CAREGIVER Increased responsive interactions CAREGIVER Executive functioning Sense of competence Reduced stress CHILD Decreased problem behaviors Improved early learning and school achievement MODERATORS: Parents with high levels of early adversity benefit most
