Professional Practice Survey

In order to best serve the afterschool and youth development community in Oakland, we are asking all organizations to please complete a Professional Practice Survey by August 21. We estimate that the survey will only take 15 minutes.

In the next school year, OCASA intends to offer a range of professional development events and peer exchange/mentorship opportunities. The Professional Practice Survey is our initial mechanism for collecting broad organizational information, specific areas of "challenge" as well as "success," and types of professional practice you would prefer in the upcoming year.

 

Based on topics identified and working with multiple partners, including the OUSD SUCCESS office who is supporting this effort, we plan to offer:

  • Three two-session small group technical assistance trainings.  The first session of each training will focus on acquiring new skills and knowledge. Between the first and second session, participants would have the opportunity to put this new knowledge into practice (a.k.a. "homework").   The second session will focus on the participants’ experience in implement the newly learned strategies and ways to fine tune approaches.
  • Two to three 60-90 minute trainings for larger groups, based on the material developed in technical assistance sessions or identified as valuable by large numbers of after school community members. 
  • OCASA would also like to offer a mentoring package to a limited number (2-3) of organizations. Each mentee organization would receive approximately 15 hours of mentoring from another organization spread throughout a period of 3-6 months.

A Word version of the survey is available by clicking here.
