The Quality Self-Assessment Tool (QSA) is a collaborative project of the California Afterschool Network and the California Department of Education. The QSA tool is a comprehensive look at many areas of program quality. Programs can utilize the tool in different ways depending on time available and the developmental stage of the program.  For more information regarding the tool and/or to download the tool itself go the following link: www.afterschoolnetwork.org/qsatool

The QSA tool is a growing document that continues to evolve as afterschool programs evolve. If you utilize the tool, please share your successes and challenges in implementation with us. We actively update the California Afterschool Network about its uses in the field.
