Region 11: CQI Process Webinar

The purpose of these videos is to provide a visual display to guide programs from a practical view point. In total, we are producing six videos ranging from 3-5 minutes and will highlight the characteristics of each of the Point-of-Service Quality Standards. Below are the first five videos for the Youth Voice and Leadership, Active and Engaged Learning, Safe and Supportive Environment, and Diversity, Access, Equity and ​Healthy Choices and Behaviors Quality Standards. Feel free to download and share widely!

The Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Toolkit was developed for the CQI Pilot Project through the partnership between the California Department of Education's (CDE) Expanded Learning Division (EXLD) and the Los Angeles County Office of Education's (LACOE) Expanded Learning Technical Assistance Unit (ELTAU). Six districts and agencies participated in the 18 month (August 2018-February 2020) pilot project with a goal of improving the understanding and implementation of CQI at the site level.

Specific content was shared with pilot participants throughout the series, and the content has now been packaged into a toolkit for others to utilize. Webinars, tools, and resources were developed and curated to help improve the implementation of CQI, while using CDE's "Quality Standards for Expanded Learning in California: Creating and Implementing a Shared Vision of Quality" to frame the process.

The toolkit contains three webinars: 1) Assess Phase, 2) Plan Phase: Data Analysis, and 3) Plan Phase: SMART Goals and Action Planning. The webinars reference and explain how to use each of the subsequent resources in each phase.
