Program leaders at each site should continue to document and collect data required for
the program and the evaluation. Additional training on the YQPA, as well as regular time
to perform and reflect on the tool should be allocated. This data provides critical, ongoing
information on student engagement and the effectiveness of enrichment activities, which
can be used to inform and improve the 21 st CCLCs. Additionally, the use of real time
student data will help program staff to better meet the needs of students. The sharing of
data with the school, family and outer community members may help to create a strong
system of support, awareness, and recognition for the program.
Continued Focus on Program Activities and Expectations that Align with the Vision
It is important that program staff members continue to plan activities early in the year, in
alignment with the vision and goals of the program. Program leaders should continue to
find innovative ways to communicate goals and activities to general education teachers to
ensure all stakeholders are operating under the same beliefs. One suggestion is to share
the program’s logic model with all stakeholders, so they can see and have discussions
about the best ways to collaborate for the benefit of the students.
