| Have you ever wondered how large of a sample size you need to be for obtaining reliable evaluation evidence? Have you wondered what statistical power means? Join AmeriCorps' Office of Research and Evaluation and our guest speakers from University of Chicago's NORC on Tuesday, March 30, for next Research and Evidence webinar. This class focuses on the concept of statistical power and explains why it's an important tool for evaluation planning. Statistical power helps estimate the sample size requirements for obtaining reliable evidence of program impacts in outcome and impact evaluations. Reliable evidence is the basis for program improvement, evidence building, and replication and scaling. This class is the first in a series of three on statistical power available on the AmeriCorps Impact Webinars page. Join Us
