1 California Afterschool Outcome Measures Project California Afterschool Outcome Measures Project University of California, Davis and University of California, Irvine In collaboration with the California Department of Education and with support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation

2 Project Overview: Three Phases Phase 1—INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT (2008-2009) Phase 1—INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT (2008-2009) Literature review Literature review Survey of the field (expected outcomes and current practices) Survey of the field (expected outcomes and current practices) Selection of measures with input from the CDE and Accountability and Outcomes Subcommittee Selection of measures with input from the CDE and Accountability and Outcomes Subcommittee Phase 2—PILOT STUDY (currently underway) Phase 2—PILOT STUDY (currently underway) Pre-piloting to test procedures and instructions to students, staff, and teachers; and to determine feasibility of online administration of surveys Pre-piloting to test procedures and instructions to students, staff, and teachers; and to determine feasibility of online administration of surveys Piloting to test NEAR-FINAL protocols under varying conditions Piloting to test NEAR-FINAL protocols under varying conditions Phase 3—FIELD STUDY (2010-2011) Phase 3—FIELD STUDY (2010-2011)

3 Outcome Measures Surveys based on existing measures with demonstrated reliability and validity: Surveys based on existing measures with demonstrated reliability and validity:  BEHAVIOR CHANGE (social efficacy, social skills with peers, child behavior, misconduct, and substance use)  SKILL DEVELOPMENT (work habits and task persistence) Three sets of instruments: Three sets of instruments:  Surveys of students who attend ASES afterschool programs  Surveys of ASES program staff  Surveys of classroom teachers

4 Profile of Pre-Pilot Sites Nine pre-pilot sites—5 Southern CA, 4 Northern CA Nine pre-pilot sites—5 Southern CA, 4 Northern CA 5 elementary school sites 5 elementary school sites 3 intermediate/middle school sites 3 intermediate/middle school sites 1 center-based site serving K-8 1 center-based site serving K-8 Seven school districts Seven school districts 3 urban 3 urban 3 suburban 3 suburban 1 rural 1 rural Range of school/program sizes Range of school/program sizes School enrollments 478 - 1,519 School enrollments 478 - 1,519 ASES enrollments 81 - 475 ASES enrollments 81 - 475

5 Pre-Pilot Activities Staff directed the administration of the online surveys to groups of students (2 to 6 groups per site) Staff directed the administration of the online surveys to groups of students (2 to 6 groups per site) Staff were provided a script and guidelines about the survey administration Staff were provided a script and guidelines about the survey administration Students completed online surveys about their skill development and behavior and about their experience taking the survey Students completed online surveys about their skill development and behavior and about their experience taking the survey Researchers observed surveying process and noted student feedback Researchers observed surveying process and noted student feedback ASES staff and classroom teachers completed the online surveys about individual students’ behavior and were interviewed about their experiences completing the surveys ASES staff and classroom teachers completed the online surveys about individual students’ behavior and were interviewed about their experiences completing the surveys Instructions and surveys were tweaked (mid pre-pilot) based on issues identified in the observations and interviews Instructions and surveys were tweaked (mid pre-pilot) based on issues identified in the observations and interviews

6 Pre-Pilot Phase November 2009—February 2010 Completed the test of initial versions of measures Completed the test of initial versions of measures Completed the test of initial protocols and procedures Completed the test of initial protocols and procedures Tested feasibility of online administration Tested feasibility of online administration Minor modifications of procedures and protocols during the pre-pilot Minor modifications of procedures and protocols during the pre-pilot
