OST Program Evaluation

NIOST researchers work with on-the-ground partners to help them:

Measure quality outcomes for all
Assess the effectiveness of policies and practices
Benchmark against best practices
Develop in-house evaluation skills
Inform the greater field

Working with partners, we ask important questions on topics and issues that are most important to them, their staff, the youth they serve, and their community, such as:

What do we do well?
How can we invest our limited resources to get the best benefits all around?
What are our youth learning in our programs?
How can our staff measure the impact of their work?
Are we providing quality for all?

We empower our partners—from individual programs to system-wide networks—to help ensure quality OST for all. Our recent partners include:

"NIOST was a core partner in supporting the development of quality improvement systems across the nine cities that participated in The Wallace Foundation Next Generation Afterschool System-Building Initiative. The NIOST team worked well with other technical assistance partners in the initiative, always willing to pitch in and collaborate with others to make our professional learning community meetings a team effort. I truly hope the Foundation has an opportunity to partner with them in the future."
