Appendix F. Out-of-School Time Readiness Questionnaire Chapter 7, Coaching Strategies
NIOST developed this questionnaire to help program leaders gauge their program’s ability to engage in CQI. In addition, completing the survey can help leaders to: • Develop an early picture of issues that need attention • Involve stakeholders who need to buy into the CQI process If you are an external coach, you can use this questionnaire with program leaders in the early stages of the CQI process. If you are an internal coach, completing this questionnaire will help you set the stage for CQI. Directions More than one person in a program can fill out this questionnaire. One should be the program leader, who may be a director or a site coordinator. The person in charge of personnel and fiscal decisions, if different from the program leader, should also fill out the questionnaire. Staff may also fill it out as a team. The more individuals involved, the more reliable the information, and the more likely these people are to participate when it comes time to implement change.

Once respondents have completed the questionnaire, program leaders can review the answers and summarize findings on the last page. Now they have information to help them gauge the program’s readiness to begin the CQI process.
