WHAT WE DO

We empower programs to nurture human potential.

At QTurn LLC, we are dedicated to unlocking the full potential of children through meaningful impact assessment and other innovative approaches in Out of School Time (OST) programs. Our work is guided by three core principles:

DIY
Measures

Agile
Analytics

Compassionate
Coaching

PRINCIPLE I

Do-It-Yourself Measures

QTurn introduces DIY measurement tools for identifying the social and emotional skills of children as well as adult best practices. Based on our Neuroperson framework, these tools provide a unique lens for understanding and responding to children and youth.

  • Accessible for all users
  • Practical for use in OST settings
  • Grounded in a solid framework
  • Inclusive for children with adverse life experiences
  • No need for costly external analysis

PRINCIPLE II

Agile Analytics

Our methods for analyzing assessment scores are designed to overcome unique challenges common in OST program settings. Utilizing our Quality-Outcomes (Q-O) impact evaluation design, QTurn demonstrates program outcomes and shows where children with the greatest challenges experience the most improvement.

  • Demonstrates your impact
  • Works with small sample sizes
  • Works with imprecise scoring
  • Provides insights you can act on

PRINCIPLE III

Compassionate Coaching

QTurn empowers program leaders with localized, strengths-based feedback, embracing a decentralized approach to coaching and evaluation. We support continuous improvement tailored to the unique needs of each community, particular those facing high levels of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Instead of lumping programs together, blind to local issues, we ensure that feedback is contextually relevant, supportive, and effective.

  • Build on your strengths
  • Receive highly customized support
  • Overcome constraints unique to your area

OUR COMMITMENT

QTurn simplifies data interpretation
and empowers local program leaders with actionable insights.

By eliminating complex statistical requirements and putting evaluation tools directly into the hands of those who know OST practice best, we enable programs to reach their full potential.

Why are Q-ODM’s Pattern-Centered Methods (PCM) More Realistic and Useful for Evaluators?

Pattern-centered theory and methods (PCM) can be used to tell simple and accurate stories about how real persons grow in real school and afterschool classrooms. Stories about the quality and outcomes (i.e., causes and effects) that are modeled using PCM are particularly useful because they can address questions related to “how” programs and classrooms work and “how much” children grow skills.
