Direct Observation Tool to Assess

• Person-centered Thinking

• Positive Social Interactions & Engagement Levels

• Positive Reinforcement

• Behavior

The Key Contact (or a Coach) will use this tool to observe whether any changes are occurring within the pilot area based on the consensus-based decisions that occurred by the people in that area. This tool collects data related to both staff and people living or working in a setting.

At Least 3 Times A Year (Including During the Onsite Evaluation)

Organizational Outcomes • Staff Retention/Tenure • Organizational

Analysis • Staff Climate

The Key Contact (or a Coach) may work with administration to assess the kinds of organizational data that are already being collected or that is needed for the self-assessment process. For instance, a table for assessing staff retention and tenure may be needed. Or the organization may already have method for this assessment. The goal for Key Contacts or Coaches is to gather this information from the appropriate staff within the organization for the team self-assessment.

Annually Spring (Starting Next Year)

Minnesota Onsite Evaluation Tool

Key Contacts or Coaches are involved in the onsite evaluation process using this tool. In the first years, the tool is completed by a trainer in collaboration with a Key Contact or Coach. Over time, Key Contacts or Coaches may collaborate with other organizations. Key Contacts/Coaches complete the tool for a neighboring organization and vice versa. This provides a more objective assessment for teams.

Annually Spring (Starting Next Year)
