Overview of the Ready by 21™ Quality Counts Initiative

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 The American Reality Only 4 in 10 youth ready, only 1 in 3 youth supported, too few leaders effective. The American Dilemma Fragmentation, complacency, and low expectations of youth, communities and leaders The American Dream All youth ready, every family and community supportive, each leader effective. The Ready by 21™ Challenge Change the odds for youth by changing the way we do business Rhetoric and Reality Don’t Match

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 The Ready by 21™ Challenge: To change the odds for youth by changing the way we do business.

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 The Ready by 21™ Quality Counts Initiative Improving youth outcomes is the goal, helping leaders improve community supports is the focus.

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 Capacity to Recruit, Train, Retain Workforce Strong Policy / Leadership Horsepower Capacity to Assess & Improve Programs Strong, Stable Program Base Building the Capacity to Sustain Change: The Four Quality Counts Work Areas There is no one blueprint, but all communities face the same challenge: Without coordinated action in all four target areas, returns on existing investments will be under-realized.

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 Capacity to Assess & Improve Program Quality Assumptions: High-quality programs can influence key developmental outcomes for children and youth. Accurate, accessible data about program quality can influence staff practice and drive planning and decision-making at the system level. Capacity to Recruit, Train, Retain Workforce Strong Policy / Leadership Horsepower Capacity to Assess & Improve Programs Strong, Stable Program Base

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 Capacity to Recruit, Train, & Retain a Strong Workforce Assumptions: Good youth development practice lies at the heart of high quality programs. An effective quality improvement system supports the ongoing professional development of staff whose programs are involved. Other factors that contribute to building a strong, stable, skilled workforce include compensation, recruitment, retention, career pathways and organizational capacity. Capacity to Recruit, Train, Retain Workforce Strong Policy / Leadership Horsepower Capacity to Assess & Improve Programs Strong, Stable Program Base

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 Strong, Stable Program Base Assumptions: Building a quality assessment system that reaches across the range of programs in a community requires accurate information about the programmatic landscape. Once stakeholders have a collective understanding of the landscape (how many people, hours, dollars, slots are at play), the more motivated they are to assess and improve quality. Capacity to Recruit, Train, Retain Workforce Strong Policy / Leadership Horsepower Capacity to Assess & Improve Programs Strong, Stable Program Base

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 Strong Policy/Leadership Horsepower Assumptions: Changing child and youth outcomes requires broad commitments to a comprehensive set of goals that cut across systems and settings. A shared vision; supportive policies, structures and funding; and engaged leaders and decision-makers are critical to building and sustaining a quality improvement system. Capacity to Recruit, Train, Retain Workforce Strong Policy / Leadership Horsepower Capacity to Assess & Improve Programs Strong, Stable Program Base

© The Forum for Youth Investment 2008 A “Big Picture” Approach to Improving Quality and Reach Take Aim Define quality. Push to involve a range of programs in assessment and improvement efforts. Generate decision-maker buy-in. Take Stock Build local capacity to map the program landscape, assess quality across programs, survey the workforce, document quality improvement resources (e.g. training, funding). Take Action Create data-driven improvement systems. Institutionalize expectations, processes and supports. Track Progress Report progress to organizations, funders and community.
