1 QRIS Environment Rating Scale Policy Development EEC Board Policy and Research Committee Meeting January 6, 2014

2 Subscale Item

3 Current Environment Rating Scale Policy

4 Challenges Presented by Current ERS Policy At all levels the environment rating scales contain between items. If any one of these items falls below the QRIS Level requirements, EEC is unable to grant the program’s/provider’s level. The current scoring requirement of a 3, 5 or 6 on all individual ERS items, is not necessarily indicative of low program quality. For example, some programs/providers may score low on an item because, as a result of bussing, they have limited greetings and departures with family members. Facility and program structure limitations are a barrier for some programs. For example, if a facility does not have an adult only dedicated restroom, they cannot meet the QRIS Level 2 requirements. Certain subscales are more directly linked to child outcomes. The current ERS policy does not address this in any way.
