One of the main objectives of GSQ's quality improvement process is to ensure that the On-Site Observation process feels supportive, encourages programs to use their results to grow, and is centered on equity. On-Site Observation meets each program where they are and gives specific feedback that can be used however the program prefers. Each program reviews its unique report, celebrates its successes, identifies where it would like to improve, creates goals, and develops a plan to reach those objectives. The plan can consist of more training, adding materials, intentional strategies in the classroom, or updating policies and procedures.
At the program's next On-site Observation, a report may show if goals have been met, if the program would like to continue working on them, or if they would like to improve in other areas. This new continuous quality improvement process means there is no need to stress in preparation for On-Site Observations.
We hope that On-Site Observation will be viewed as an exciting opportunity for programs. GSQ programs should feel empowered by these reports, using them to identify areas of growth and improve their care and education of Michigan’s children.
