Moneyball

for Government Principles

Government at all levels should help improve outcomes for young people, their families, and communities by:

Building

evidence about the practices, policies, and programs that will achieve the most

effective

and efficient results so that policymakers can make better decisions

;

Investing

limited taxpayer dollars in practices, policies, and programs that use data, evidence,

and evaluation to demonstrate how they work; and

Directing funds away from practices, policies, and programs that consistently fail to achieve

desired outcomes.
