PATHS Quality Assurance Review
Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies Quality Assurance Review Process
Each PCCD grantee is required in the second year of funding to participate in a Quality Assurance Review Process (QARP) with the program developer.
The Quality Assurance Review Process (QARP) by the developer is an integral part of promoting model adherence, implementation quality, and demonstrating program outcomes and impact. The purpose of the review process is to fully assess a site’s functioning, their data collection process, and their ability to demonstrate and communicate impact.
Demonstrating program outcomes and tying them to high-quality program implementation will advance Pennsylvania’s dedication and financial commitment to supporting evidence-based programs. This assessment along with sites’ outcomes can potentially lead to increased funding and continued statewide support for the evidence-based program initiative in PA.
