New Service: The Online Toolbox can be customized to incorporate additional measures for programs and can be part of a tailored program evaluation.

Why are these measures important?

Research shows that high-quality programs have beneficial effects on students socially and academically. The Online Toolbox enables afterschool and summer learning programs to have easy access to measures that can inform program improvement efforts, serve as an accountability tool, and can be used for reporting program outcomes to funders and other stakeholders. All scales have well-established reliability and validity.

STEM: There is a STEM focused Online Toolbox survey battery available as well. Please contact us if your curriculum focus is on STEM. Click here to view the STEM student survey description.
Review: The Online Toolbox is featured in a publication by the Forum for Youth Investment (Jan 2014): From Soft Skills to Hard Data. The Technical Appendix includes a description of the Outcome Measures Online Toolbox scales and psychometric properties.
