Addendum B – Survey of Academic & Youth Outcomes (SAYO)
INSTRUCTIONS
Programs are required to utilize the SAYO tools to assess the overall effects of how participation in 21st CCLC programs
supports a student’s academic and social emotional learning experiences. The SAYO is designed to measure the effect
of the instruction and support provided to students enrolled through use of the SAYO-T completed by the school day
teachers of the students served by the program, SAYO-S completed by the program staff, and SAYO-Y completed by the
student participants. The SAYO is a research based program outcome evaluation tool developed by the Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education and the National Institute on Out-of-School Time.
SAYO Youth (SAYO-Y) Survey Description
The SAYO-Y measures youth’s experiences in the 21stt CCLC program, youth’s sense of competence, and youth’s future
aspirations. The SAYO-Y is designed to supplement areas measured by the SAYO-Staff and SAYO-Teacher surveys is
an opportunity to hear directly from youth and learn more about their experiences, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs.
Assessment of Program Practices (APT) Description
The APT is a research-based field-tested observation tool that includes those program practices which research suggests
are related to the outcomes measured by the SAYO. The goal of the APT is to assess the extent to which 21st CCLC
programs are implementing practices congruent with their desired SAYO outcomes. The APT is intended to be a tool that
assists with continuous program improvement and with identifying areas for professional development.
