The publication "Out-of-School Time Evaluation Snapshots" series is now
available on our website. This Snapshot, "Measurement Tools for Evaluating
Out-of-School Time Programs: An Evaluation Resource," describes instruments and tools
that have been used in existing OST evaluation studies, and that can be
obtained and used for on-the-ground program evaluation.
The Snapshot is organized as a series of tables, each describing a different
category of instrument or measurement tool. The categories, some of which
include more detailed subcategories, include:
Academics
Psychological/Social Development
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Use Prevention
Program Quality/Program Environment
Multicomponent Scales/Comprehensive Surveys
You can read it online or download or print it as a PDF at:
http://www.gse.harvard.edu/hfrp/projects/afterschool/resources/snapshot6
The next Snapshot in the series, scheduled to be available in December, will
examine how OST programs are using technology to enhance their programming.
Watch your inbox for the announcement.
You may also be interested in the latest edition of our "The Evaluation
Exchange" periodical on democratic evaluation. At the forefront of the discussion

transparency. It is available on our website at:
