The purpose of this report is to provide the Michigan Department of Education-Office of Great Start (MDE-OGS) with a summary of the work done in fiscal year 2016 piloting specific features of a proposed Quality Rating and Improvement System inclusive of programs and providers serving school-agers developed during fiscal year 2015. The features piloted were: a participation readiness process, four versions of a Self-Assessment Survey meant to capture features of structural quality and the accompanying rubrics, and two onsite assessment tools, the School-age Walk-Thru Program Quality Assessment (SA-PQA) and the Family Child Care Program Quality Assessment (F-PQA). This report provides a detailed look at the implementation process, each feature piloted, and incorporates feedback from the pilot participants. Lastly, lessons learned and recommendations can be found at the end of each section. (author abstract)
