Measuring What Matters: Defining Success in Probation – Free CEPP Webinar
Join CEPP for a free webinar, Measuring What Matters: Defining Success in Probation.
How do we define success in probation? For decades, recidivism has dominated performance conversations—but it tells only part of the story.
Join the Center for Effective Public Policy (CEPP) for a free webinar, Measuring What Matters: Defining Success in Probation, to explore how agencies can design and implement performance measures that reflect meaningful progress for clients, staff, and organizations.
📅 Date & Time: Wednesday, December 3, 2025 | 2:00–3:30 PM ET
🎙️ Presenters: CEPP Senior Manager Troy Hatfield and Melissa Stephenson, Director of Grant County Court Services in Indiana
During this interactive session, you’ll examine:
- Limitations of traditional recidivism-focused measures.
- Alternative indicators that capture supervision quality, client progress, and staff effectiveness.
- Practical steps to develop and test new performance measures in your agency.
- Ways to use performance data to promote learning, improvement, and accountability.
All participants will receive CEPP’s newly released Probation Performance Measures Resource Guide, which offers step-by-step guidance and sample measures to help you put these ideas into practice.
Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how your agency can measure what truly matters—and tell a more complete story of supervision success.
