Strategic Planning for Gender Justice: Using the Supervision Agency Gender-Responsive Evaluation
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 28, 2025
4:15 PM - 5:15 PM
Session Type: Workshop
This workshop focuses on improving outcomes for justice-involved women and gender diverse individuals. Participants will be introduced to the Supervision Agency Gender-Responsive Evaluation (SAGE - formerly the Gender Responsive Policies and Practices Assessment) that was developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Corrections and the Center for Effective Public Policy. SAGE is a comprehensive assessment that provides agencies with a protocol and scoring guide to explore how closely existing policies and practices align with the available research on women. The information gathered while implementing SAGE serves as the foundation for strategic planning efforts and provides targeted recommendations to expand the use of evidence-based policies and practices. The evaluation process to implement SAGE will be explored through demonstrations and reflective activities. Project coordinators from two sites will describe how SAGE was implemented in their agencies, the benefits and outcomes of this process, and explore strategies to advance outcomes for women.
