This program quality review instrument for California's infant and toddler programs focuses on seven functional program components. Components include: (1) philosophy, goals, and objectives; (2) administration; (3) maintenance of a developmental profile on each infant and toddler; (4) provision of a developmental program; (5) parent education and involvement; (6) community resources and involvement; and (7) program evaluation. In assessing the developmental program, the review instrument focuses on the nature of the learning environment; the caregiver's influence on the environment; health, nutrition, language and communication; and emotional, social, physical, cognitive, and creative development. Programs are assessed using indicators and items specified within the functional components, and are rated excellent, good, adequate, or inadequate. If inadequate, programs are required to submit a program improvement plan within 30 days of the program quality review. A glossary of terms used in the instrument is provided. (RH)

This revised Program Quality Review Instrument focuses on the evaluation of seven functional components of center-based, preschool-age child development programs in California. The components are: (1) philosophy, goals, and objectives; (2) administration; (3) assessment of child and family; (4) developmental programming; (5) parent education and involvement; (6) community resources and involvement; and (7) evaluation. The component on developmental programming has six areas for evaluation. Indicators and items for use in assessing program quality are specified within components. The instrument identifies the Child Development Division's expectations for program implementation. The instrument is intended for use not only in reviewing program quality, but also in self-review, as a teaching tool, and as a basis for planning program improvement. Verification of program quality is made through documentation, observation, and interviews. Programs are rated excellent, good, adequate, or inadequate; inadequate programs are required to submit a program improvement plan within 30 days of program review. A glossary of terms used in the instrument is provided. (RH)

The School-Age Child Care Program Quality Review Instrument is a compilation of standards designed to measure the quality of a state-funded, center-based child care program for school-age children. These standards were established in compliance with the requirements specified in Sections 8208 and 8463 of California's Education Code. The instrument assesses through observation, documentation, and interviews, the following seven program components: (1) philosophy, goals, and objectives; (2) administration; (3) children's needs, interests, and skills; (4) developmental programming; (5) parent involvement and education; (6) community resources and social services; and (7) program evaluation. The administration component includes three indicators: program management, personnel policies, and staff development. The developmental component contains seven indicators: program documentation, program activities, multicultural curriculum, special needs, personal interactions, materials and equipment, and space management. Depending on the score received, programs are rated excellent, good, adequate, or inadequate. Inadequate programs are required to submit a program improvement plan within 30 calender days of the program quality review. Cross references to Senate Bill 303 and a glossary of terms are appended.

This program quality review instrument was designed for use in determining the quality of California's family day care programs in terms of seven functional components. These components included: (1) philosophy, goals, and objectives; (2) administration; (3) identification of the child's and family's needs; (4) home environment; (5) parent education and involvement; (6) community resources and involvement; and (7) program evaluation. The instrument specified for each functional component indicators and items which reviewers could check depending on whether the requirements of the functional component had been met. Verification of the presence and effectiveness of an indicator or item was made through documentation, observation, interview, or a combination of these methods. The instrument used was also designed to be used in self-review, as a teaching tool, and as the basis of planning for program improvement. Programs were rated excellent, good, adequate, or inadequate; if rated inadequate, programs must submit an improvement plan within 30 days of the review. (RH)

Featuring a new spiral binding, the updated ITERS-R offers more practical assistance in the form of additional notes for clarification and an Expanded Score Sheet, which incorporates notes and tables to assist in scoring. However, the items and indicators remain the same as in the original ITERS-R. Designed for use in center-based child care programs for infants and toddlers up to 30 months of age, the ITERS-R can be used by program directors for supervision and program improvement, by teaching staff for self-assessment, by agency staff for monitoring, and in teacher training programs. The established reliability and validity of the scale make it particularly useful for research and program evaluation.

Building on extensive feedback from the field as well as vigorous new research on how best to support infant and toddler development and learning, the authors have revised and updated the widely used Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale. ITERS-3 is the next-generation assessment tool for use in center-based child care programs for infants and toddlers up to 36 months of age. ITERS-3 focuses on the full range of needs of infants and toddlers and provides a framework for improving program quality. Further, the scale assesses both environmental provisions and teacher-child interactions that affect the broad developmental milestones of infants and toddlers, including: language, cognitive, social-emotional and physical development, as well as concern for health and safety. ITERS-3 is appropriate for state- and district-wide QRIS and continuous quality improvement, program evaluation by directors and supervisors, teacher self-evaluation, monitoring by agency staff, and teacher training programs. The established reliability and validity of the scale make it particularly useful for research and program evaluation. While the approach to assessing quality and the scoring process remain the same for the new ITERS-3, users will find the following improvements informed by extensive use of the ITERS in the field and by the most recent research: Enhanced focus on interactions and the role of the teacher. Six new language and literacy Items. A new Item on beginning math experiences. Expanded age range to include children from birth to 36 months. A new approach to scoring based solely on observation of ongoing classroom activity (3-hour time sample). The elimination of the parents/staff subscale and teacher interviews, freeing up time for observing more actual classroom practice. Improved indicator scaling, providing more precise and useful scores for use in professional development and self-improvement. Reduced emphasis on the number of materials, along with greater emphasis on how materials are used to encourage learning. Suitable for use in inclusive and culturally diverse programs, ITERS-3 subscales evaluate: Space and Furnishings Personal Care Routines Language and Books Activities Interaction Program Structure

The assessment of young children's development and learning has recently taken on new importance. Private and government organizations are developing programs to enhance the school readiness of all young children, especially children from economically disadvantaged homes and communities and children with special needs. Well-planned and effective assessment can inform teaching and program improvement, and contribute to better outcomes for children. This book affirms that assessments can make crucial contributions to the improvement of children's well-being, but only if they are well designed, implemented effectively, developed in the context of systematic planning, and are interpreted and used appropriately. Otherwise, assessment of children and programs can have negative consequences for both. The value of assessments therefore requires fundamental attention to their purpose and the design of the larger systems in which they are used. Early Childhood Assessment addresses these issues by identifying the important outcomes for children from birth to age 5 and the quality and purposes of different techniques and instruments for developmental assessments.
