Development of California Afterschool Program Accountability Measures

State legislation instructs the California Department of Education to provide publically-funded afterschool programs with several different accountability measures from which they can choose from to report on their program’s performance. In collaboration with UC Irvine, CEES developed and pilot tested, statewide, web-based survey measures that measure student change in pro-social skill development and positive behavior. Surveys are completed by afterschool program staff, classroom teachers, and students in grades 3-8 who are participating in the afterschool program.
