The prospect of program assessment often conjures up anxiety and fear for early childhood teachers and administrators. However, implementing program assessments like ECERs need not be so stressful. In fact, it can be approached with interest! Empowering yourself and the teachers in your program to fully understand what high-quality environments look like, how it’s measured, and the inside scoop on what an assessor is really looking for are the first steps to calming fears and making the process effective. Taking a deep look at the classroom environment using a lens of curiosity and wonder and a continuous improvement mindset can make the process like a scavenger hunt for opportunities.
This information-packed webinar, presented by educational architect, author, and podcaster Lyneé Lopez, introduces how to begin using program assessments as a foundation for everyday practices. Lynee will pull back the curtain and talk about what assessors are really looking for and how to incorporate the process into a sustainable practice that you and your teams fully understand. You will leave prepared to use the understandings gleaned from environmental evaluation to create wonder-filled classroom environments.
You will learn:
- the history of program assessment in defining high-quality programming,
- the basics of how ECERS-3 and ITERs can be used to build collaborative professional learning communities,
- analyze specific data points.
All sessions are 1.5 hours long and include a brief announcement from our sponsor.
2:oo PM – 3:30 PM Eastern Time.
