26 Feb Module 5: The Teacher as Part of the Learning Environment

· Collect ECERS-3 Data and record scores by clicking this link: ECERS-3 REPORTING FORMLinks to an external site.

· Create and submit a PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) that summarizes the findings from your observations in either Choice A or B and outlines the staffing, physical environment, and population served in either of your schools observed. In your PPT, make specific recommendations based upon Evidence-Based Practice and class readings to BOTH the Program Leadership and Educators on how they may improve the areas trending lowest in your collected and analyzed Process Quality Data. Be sure to note in your PPT, how increased knowledge of the use of this tool might apply to an early childhood practitioner’s work; specifically, how it may transform their teaching and application strategies with their students. Observations are to be completed and uploaded by the 3rd week of class. We will discuss the findings in the 5th week of class.

Choice A: Use the ECERS-3 Tool to score your own real-life ECE classroom for children between 2.6 to 5 years old. Before you collect data, be sure to share this letter and gain the signature of an administrator to upload with your assignment: Administrator Letter

Choice B: Let’s pretend that all the videos in this assignment represent one early learning environment. View & score the Early Childhood classroom videos provided below, using the ECERS-3 Tool. Since you are viewing the body of videos as one school, you will reflect one set of scores. Assume any absent information to be non-existent when scoring.
