While an external assessment can supply a wealth of valuable information about the quality of an OST program, being able to conduct a self-assessment is also valuable and a best practice within a continuous quality improvement model. This engaging and interactive ONLINE training will provide practitioners with the tools and resources needed to conduct a program self-assessment back at their program. By exploring the “quality construct” of the Palm Beach County Program Quality Assessment tool (PBC-PQA), participants will learn how to generate precise anecdotal evidence through keen observation and objective note-taking skills and how to use this information for continuous quality improvement purposes. Participants will be strongly encouraged and also given next steps to conduct the self-assessment process back at their program.

PBC-PQA Basics Online will take approximately 2-3 hours in total to complete, depending on one’s familiarity with the content and online training process. Practitioners should plan their time accordingly as they will have a two week window to complete the coursework. One’s progress will be saved along the way if multiple days or blocks of time are needed to complete.
