The highest performing afterschool programs have inclusive, equitable work environments that engage stakeholders & teams. However, continuous quality improvement (CQI) initiatives are often top-down experiences, with high stakes for staff, but limited opportunity for engagement. This session introduces micro-practices as a tool to shift to more equitable & inclusive CQI. This session is intended for program leaders & others who lead CQI processes. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to: Understand how & why participatory CQI can help organizations dismantle historically oppressive evaluation practices/Use participatory approaches to CQI to engage the staff & community and support a more equitable & inclusive program environment/Reinforce the importance of “micro-practices” in supporting lasting change, & create participatory CQI micro-practices that meet organizational aims.
