School-Age PQA External Assessor Reliability Training

March 1-9, 2021 | Live Virtual Interactive Workshop via Zoom

This challenging workshop is intended for participants who will serve as new reliable external assessors in the Youth Program Quality Intervention (YPQI). Participants must have completed PQA Basics prior to attending and complete a pre-workshop homework assignment. To become reliable assessors, participants must meet rigorous standards that require in-depth exploration of the Program Quality Assessment (PQA) through observation and scoring practice. The workshop culminates in a video reliability check where participants must achieve a score of 80% or higher for the School-Age PQA to become endorsed. Participants who reach reliability are able to collect research quality data and conduct external assessments for two years from their date of endorsement. In addition to the workshop, external assessors receive access to comprehensive supports and a continuing education process that is to be completed 10-14 months after initial endorsement.

Anyone who will be conducting external assessments as part of a quality assessment and improvement process should attend this workshop. This workshop is also recommended for coaches or network advisors that will be working with sites to complete the self-assessment process or to implement improvement plans.
