Growing What Works Database Excelencia cares about finding replicable programs with evidence-based outcomes that work. Programs recognized through Examples of Excelencia feed into our Growing What Works database. The Growing What Works database is an online searchable database that serves as a resource for institutional leaders, funders, policymakers and others interested in evidence-base practices that help accelerate Latino student success in higher education.
