Program Assessment 101-Using the YPQA
A Youth Work Institute Course
Learn how to define quality at the point of service (where young people and adults meet inside of a program) and how to use the YPQA tool to assess youth program quality with your staff on your own time. Participants will learn the difference between observational measures and typical survey evaluation. The Youth Program Quality Assessment (YPQA) is a nationally recognized observational measurement tool that provides a valid and reliable way to assess program quality.
How it works:
- Review the basics of the observational method
- View video to score a YPQA
What you’ll have when you walk away:
- Deepen your program capacity to continue quality improvement across time and staff beyond Quality Matters
- Prepare to use the YPQA as a self-assessment method
Who should attend:
Quality Matters participants ready to self-assess
