About COA and its After School Program [Jim Murphy] Recognition and Accreditation
COA's After School Program accreditation (http://www.coaafterschool.org/) is based on standards merged from the NAA's standards and COA's 8th Edition Standards. It includes three different sections of standards: After School Program Administration (ASP-AM), After School Human Resources (ASP-HR), and After School Programming and Services (ASP-PS). The Administration Standards cover practices related to continuous quality improvement, financial management, risk prevention and management, and ethical practice. The Human Resources Standards address recruitment and selection, training and professional development, support, and supervision. The Programming and Services Standards set forth additional recommended practices for working with children and youth in out of school time. Programs will complete all three sections of standards. Taken together, these standards represent a set of practices that support quality programming and promote positive outcomes for children and youth.
