Evaluation is at its best when it is in service of learning and equity – when it engages and is responsive to an inclusive set of perspectives, including those who hold decision-making power, those doing the work in the field, and those most affected by the work. For over twenty years, we have facilitated strategic planning, evaluation, and technical assistance for a wide range of initiatives. We align with partners addressing the wicked problems of poverty and income inequality, health and education disparities, and racism and discrimination. Our work has spanned early childhood and family supports, out-of-school time, bilingual and special education, school-based health, housing and food insecurity, and community schools. The Apex Blend utilizes a combination of theories and methods to inform and guide practice, including systems thinking, equitable evaluation, utilization-focused evaluation, developmental evaluation, principles-focused evaluation, Results-Based Accountability™, and data visualization. Our incredible team leverages these methods and a our suite of technology tools to deliver what we do best: Evaluation that works.
