Missouri Afterschool Resource Center (MOARC)

The Missouri Afterschool Resource Center, funded by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), provides training, technical assistance, and resources to DESE funded 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) and School Age Community (SAC) grantees.  All 21st CCLC and SAC grantees are assigned an Afterschool Regional Educator (ARE) who provides onsite and virtual coaching, training, and technical assistance.

Data and Evaluation Support

The data and evaluation team supports a variety of data collection efforts along with coordinating the statewide and local external evaluation process for 21st CCLC grantees.  Specific tools include Kids Care Center (KCC), Youth Program Quality (PQA), DESSA, annual surveys, additional verification documentation, statewide evaluation, certification of local external evaluators, and the Guided Reflection process. Click here for the KCC recorded training playlist. 

The 2023-24 External Evaluator list will be available on 4/15/24.

Grantee Blueprint

The MASN team has attempted to put all training, technical assistance, data collection and evaluation information in one document – the 2023-24 MASN Grantee Blueprint.  If you have ideas for additional information to add to the Grantee Blueprint, please let us know.

You’ve asked… we’ve tried!  The Date List 2023-24 attempts to put all training, technical assistance, data collection, and evaluation dates in one place.  We’ve even tried to add the DESE fiscal and monitoring dates to the list too.

Want to see it graphically?  Check out the Afterschool Grantee Timeline to see how the training, technical assistance, data collection and evaluation flow over the grant year.  

Evaluation Rubric

The Evaluation Rubric is a flexible framework to help determine a program’s achievement of the goals and objectives laid out in the Grantee Blueprint. It does this by allowing programs that struggle with one objective to demonstrate excellence in another related area and still score well on a given goal.

Rubric Helps document

The Rubric Helps document can be used to help clarify what needs to be submitted for the additional verification documentation at the end of each school year.
