In Section 1: Management, you learned that professional development is an important part of supporting staff retention and providing a high-quality program.

Directions: Use the survey on the following pages to determine staff training needs and interests for the afterschool and expanded learning program. Distribute the survey to staff members once or twice a year to ensure that everyone feels supported, grows in his or her position, and has an opportunity to give feedback. Program leadership should analyze and distribute staff survey data on a yearly basis.
