8/10: Reading Outcome: One-Minute Oral Reading Fluency (The Children’s Trust)
In this workshop, participants will learn how to administer the required reading outcome measure of Oral Reading Fluency (ORF) as well as how to report the results to the Trust. This standardized, curriculum-based measure is designed to assess reading proficiency in one minute in students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. All Trust-funded agencies are required to administer this simple and research-based assessment to their participants. Providers will also learn how to obtain ORF materials at no cost from Project RISE.

8/13:Fitness Outcome: PACER (a.k.a. the “Beep” Test)
In this active workshop, participants will learn how to administer and score the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER), also known as the “Beep” test. This modified shuttle run is a valid measure of endurance and overall fitness and is being adopted as the fitness outcome for The Children’s Trust. A select group of Trust-funded agencies are required to administer this fun, research-based assessment during the ’08-’09 school year, but all can attend . Participants will also receive the materials needed to administer the PACER at no cost from Project RISE.

8/13: Program Quality Assessment: School-Age Care Environment Rating Scale (SACERS)
In this workshop, participants will learn how to evaluate the quality of their OOS program using the SACERS, a comprehensive rating scale that targets six (6) areas of OOS programs: Space & Furnishings; Health & Safety; Activities; Interactions; Program Structure; and Staff Development. Participants will learn how to identify areas that need improvement as well as how to recognize program strengths.
All Trust-funded OOS agencies are required to evaluate their programs using this research-based rating scale. Additional trainings by Project RISE are being developed to target specific areas of the SACERS.

8/14: Intervention: How to Improve Oral Reading Fluency
In this workshop, providers will learn how to use ORF data to not only determine children’s current reading levels and identify those reading below their grade level, but also to select the appropriate teaching strategies to improve overall reading fluency. By using research-supported teaching strategies, oral reading fluency can actually be improved, often with a positive impact on future gains in academic achievement. This workshop is the first step to incorporating a systematic approach to improving reading in OOS programs.
