Instrument Overview

The California After-School Program Quality Self-Assessment Tool (CAN-QSA) was developed by the California Afterschool Network and the California Department of Education with input from a broad range of after school program stakeholders. This self-assessment tool is designed for use in after school programs serving youth in grades K-12 in either school or community-based settings. It can be used to engage a range of program stakeholders (i.e., staff, school administrators, youth, families) in a reflective process regarding program quality, and to generate a concrete action plan to enhance program quality. The tool can be used both at the site level and programmatic level. Guidance for using the tool is provided in a comprehensive user manual.
