The Ready to Implement assessment is a critical first step in your journey toward readiness – we are excited you are here! If you are taking this assessment, it means that you and/or your program is considering trying something new or making a change. This assessment is a helpful reflection tool – it can be used to think about new or existing practices you may want to refine or improve. Are you ready? The summer learning readiness assessment is comprised of four modules: Strong Program Operations – This module assesses the strength of your program’s operations as a foundation for implementing new practices or making changes to existing ones. Staff Well-Being, Beliefs, and Skills – This module assesses staff perspectives and overall well-being as a key element of your program’s overall readiness. Engaged and Informed Stakeholders – This module examines how your program ensures young people and their families are engaged and informed. Intentional Practices that Support Summer Learning – Whereas the first three modules focused on program practices generally, this module examines your approach to summer learning, specifically. Please select which of these modules you would like to include in the readiness assessment: [Check all the apply] SummerModulesStrong Program OperationsStaff Well-Being, Belief, and SkillsEngaged and Informed StakeholdersIntentional Practices that Support Summer LearningNext This assessment takes a 360-degree view of your program. You’ll reflect on your program, other staff, yourself, and program stakeholders like youth and their families. We use the term “program” to refer to the place where you work. For example, you might work with an afterschool provider at a community program, such as the YMCA or a Boys & Girls Club. In this case, your program might be one of many YMCAs across the country. Perhaps you work for a local sports program or other enrichment provider, where your program is the only one. In some questions, we refer to staff you work with. For these questions, consider the majority or average staff experience. In other questions, you’ll reflect on how youth and families may experience your program. Programs often have a variety of relationships and experiences with these individuals, so please respond based on their average experience. This survey is designed to capture your program’s readiness for high-quality summer programs. What is a high-quality summer program? A high-quality summer program is designed based on the current evidence for effective summer learning programs meaning that the program runs for at least 25 days, provides both academic and enrichment activities, is staffed by certified teachers, promotes consistent youth attendance, and ensures that youth and staff experience a positive culture and climate. Please keep this definition in mind as you complete this survey. When responding to the questions, think about processes and practices that are planned and intentional. We understand that many youth-serving programs have staff that engage in these practices naturally (maybe that’s you!) but our focus in this assessment is on intentional and systematic practices that are planned for and are implemented regularly and consistently by most staff. Every question in this assessment is optional and no one will see your responses but you. You should answer as many questions as you can and be honest. There are no right or wrong answers. The more questions you can answer and the more transparent and reflective you are, the better able you and your program will be to build readiness! NextIn this first series of questions, you will have the opportunity to share more about your program’s intentional, planned practices. We understand that many staff may engage in these practices naturally, however the focus in these questions is on intentional and systematic practices. Therefore, please base your ratings on whether your program has planned for these practices and the extent to which they are implemented regularly and consistently. Start here by reflecting on your program operations. Remember: We use the term “program” to refer to the place where you work. Base your response on your program’s intentional and systematic practices that are planned for and implemented regularly and consistently by most staff.
