What the Data Shows
The Opp is an unwavering champion for the promotion of high-quality afterschool programming. In its commitment to ensuring excellence, The Opp employs a comprehensive approach to evaluate afterschool experiences, utilizing a range of nationally recognized evaluation tools and data metrics
The Opp is the only organization collecting citywide OST data that is used for everything from program evaluation to creating logic models by youth, education, social service, and arts organizations across Tulsa.
Why track the data?
Created in partnership with Neighborhood Explorer (f.k.a. 9B) and using data that we are meticulously tracking with program partners, this map shows us a view by school and city council district of where afterschool programming is currently happening. Real time data like this is important in addressing program equity and accessibility across Tulsa.
During school year 25/26, we tracked the engagement of over 12,000 youth through TIDEL.
By connecting our data system TIDEL (Tulsa’s Integrated Data-System for Expanded Learning) with Student Information Systems, The Opp helps partners understand the demographics of the youth they serve to make informed decisions on everything from access to program quality. This also allows partners to connect their work to the impact on youth throughout their entire expanded learning experience.
