,
Patricia, I wanted to take the time to say a BIG THANK YOU! for the professional way you and your staff conducted the successful STEAM training. I have no doubt that the training and general content we experienced over the three-month 6-sessions will help us to provide fun and meaningful program activities for hundreds of deserving youth in our afterschool programs. Through your training sessions, you have given us the skills and opportunity to help youth to think and plan their future in STEAM. You have given us some awesome ideas to plan and work with kids at all levels. I would strongly recommend your program to anyone who is seeking a way to get kids excited about STEAM.

Program Self-Assessment (PBC-PQA Basics)
Assessment and evaluation can supply a wealth of valuable information about the quality of your program. Program self-assessment is a best practice designed for continuous improvement. Prime Time’s Program Self- Assessment Training is a two-part training, which prepares you to assess the quality of your own program. Commitment is required for both training dates. In the first part of the training participants will explore the Palm Beach County-Program Quality Assessment tool (PBC-PQA) “quality construct” to help participants develop keen observation and note-taking skills to generate objective and precise anecdotal evidence, and learn how to use and score the PBC-PQA. To get the most out of the training, participants will be required to complete a program self-assessment following this session.
