9. Introductions
Introduce yourself, your organization and share one YPQA concept that has really got you thinking and why.

10. Quality Construct: The Pyramid of Program Quality
… and this research is in support of what is measured in the Youth PQA.
The Youth PQA is designed to measure key developmental experiences within an afterschool setting.
It is based around Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, where the bottom of the pyramid needs to be in place before the top can be reached.
At the bottom of the Pyramid of Program Quality is safe environment. This includes both physical and emotional safety.
Above that we have a supportive environment, which is mostly provided by the staff – do they plan sessions so that they’re at the right pace for youth? Do youth have an opportunity to build skills, and are they encouraged to do so despite mistakes? Are adults providing support for learning?
Interaction looks at the relationships between youth and other youth and between the adults and youth.
Engagement is different than what we typically think of when we hear the word engagement. Youth being involved in an activity, listening, participating – those are all wonderful things, and they are measured in the interaction and supportive environment domains of the pyramid. In the Youth PQA, there are 3 things that define engagement: Youth having opportunities to Plan what they’re doing, make choices about what they’re doing, and Reflect on what they’re doing. They’re at the top of the pyramid because all of the other domains below it set the stage for these to happen.

11. Youth Program Quality Intervention (YPQI)
The Youth PQA is just the first step in a larger cycle of improvement, which we call the Youth Program Quality Intervention. Today we’ll focus on the ASSESS phase. But after you conduct your assessment, the next step is to develop a plan for improvement based on the data, and then to carry out that plan to improve the quality of your program for kids.

13. Assessment
The PQA allows you to observe what actually goes on in your youth programs. How often do you have the time or energy to simply observe a program led by another staff? How often do you rely on what you think happens in your programs?

14. What does the Assess Stage look like?

15. Team Training and Building Awareness
Again???? What did you want staff to know about the PQA before you start assessing? What do you wish you had let staff know before assessing? st Timers??? What do you want staff to know about the PQA before you start assessing? What do you want to share with staff before assessing?

16. Data Collection
Share your data collection plan…. Any potential or perceived challenges?

17. Data Collection Tips Observation and Note-Taking
Try to observe at least 30 minutes of programming.
