  • Webinar reviews the bright spots method that was first shared in the January 2024 session. The February session included a Mural activity to learn about bright spots across grants.

  • Tip sheet provides an overview of the Bright Spots approach, a tool that can be used to support strategy development. The tip sheet also includes a matrix that presents advantages and disadvantages of methods for identifying bright spots, and an interview template to learn more about practices used by bright spots. 

  • Webinar covered the Bright Spots approach, a tool that supports strategy development within CQI efforts. In using this method, teams identify high-performing sites or staff, and then interview staff to learn more about what they do.

  • Webinar covers part 2 of a two-part series on data tracking to support CQI. It focuses on tracking activities to inform progress on short- and long-term improvement goals, including considerations for developing a useful data tracker.

  • Webinar covers part 1 of a two-part series on data tracking to support CQI. This session focuses on identifying long-term and interim goals and creating data-informed targets for them to define success.
