Quality Improvement

Quality Improvement Assistance

We employ a team of Out-of-School Time Specialists that implement an ongoing cycle of continuous improvement and assessment to support quality improvement efforts of afterschool programs throughout the state. Available services include in-person coaching, training and presentations, consultation, observations, and more. 

Year of Quality Improvement

To help you on your quality journey, we've put together the Year of Quality Improvement, which will help you map out self-assessments, set goals, and implement best practices throughout the year. It is a great resource to review and share with your team to show what a continuous improvement cycle can look like. 

To help track important afterschool dates and deadlines, download our UAN free printable calendar.
