Research has shown that quality programs have a positive impact on child outcomes, school readiness and school success. What is a quality program and how does a program’s vision and desires for the children they care for align with quality measures? Training participants will explore these topics, including quality environment as interaction indicators and various program assessment tools. An overview on consideration for selecting program assessment tools will also be presented.
This module will serve as a prerequisite to the subsequent Measures of Quality Professional Development trainings.
