Wyoming Afterschool Alliance Mott Achievement Project

NIOST is working with the Wyoming Afterschool Alliance to build the internal capacity to improve quality in a wide variety of afterschool programs using NIOST’s APAS system.

In the fall of 2011, NIOST trained seventeen programs across the state of Wyoming on APAS. Based on NIOST reports from data collected from the sites each program is working on individual action plans to improve the overall quality of their programs. In addition, fifteen experienced afterschool professionals were trained as Quality Advisors to assist the programs in their continuous program improvement efforts.

Ellen Gannett, M.Ed., director of NIOST, and Linda Barton, the Wyoming After School Alliance director, discuss the importance of afterschool programs in this video recorded at the Annual Wyoming After School Alliance conference. Watch the video.
