Program Quality

“Emerging research on after school program quality and its relationship to outcomes indicates that…quality after school programs also share the following features: Appropriate supervision and structure, well prepared staff, intentional programming with opportunities for autonomy and choice and strong partnerships among the various settings…schools, programs and families.” -Harvard Family Research Project 2-2008

OregonASK believes that quality afterschool programs are committed to providing each child and youth with a enriching experience that enhances their growth and learning opportunities. OregonASK, as a collaboration, has created Program Quality Tools, including  Best Practices . The intention of the Program Quality tools are to guide programs in assessing their own level of quality, to assist policy makers in recognizing and supporting quality improvement efforts, and to enhance the overall development and enrichment of children and youth in Oregon.
