The Assessment of Program Practices Tool (APT)

The Assessing Afterschool Program Practices Tool (APT) is designed to complement SAYO by helping programs evaluate and strengthen quality practices that research suggests are linked with SAYO outcomes. APT looks at the overall afterschool program, homework time and activities with two comprehensive tools that combine observation and self-assessment.
