Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: "The Youth Program Quality Assessment (PQA) is a validated instrument designed to evaluate the quality of youth programs and identify staff training needs. It has been used in community organizations, schools, camps, and other places where youth have fun, work, and learn with adults. The Youth PQA is an evidence-based assessment tool. Evidence is gathered through observation and interview. Program staff or an outside specialist observe program activities, take notes, and then conduct an interview with a program administrator. Notes, observations, and interview data are used as evidence to score items. Item scores are combined to create an overall program quality profile. The pyramid below shows the domains of the Youth PQA. Each domain contains a set of specific and observable elements of best practice for working with children and youth."--

Download or read book Early Childhood Assessment written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
