CURRICULUM
8/21/08
Notes From Joint QRIS meeting
Level 1
Attachment E – add a list of the currently approved curricula and instructions about how to get a program’s curriculum approved. For now we will use the list of approved curricula and the DAP approval guidelines form to decide whether or not to accept a curriculum.
Level 2
Lead teachers – inservice hours or CEU’s will be accepted. Must be within the last 12 months and updated annually; may be on or off site; may be done by the director or their designee, but they must show evidence of what makes the trainer qualified to give this training. We will want to see a sign-in sheet and agenda or a certificate. Current lesson plans should be posted. Three months of lesson plans available for review. There must be a sample lesson plan in the portfolio. Question – whether Level 2 should be general curriculum training and Level 3 specific to the curriculum?
Level 3
Same as Level 2. Question – should we require trainers to be registered with CSC’s training registry? Can and will ELC provide train the trainer specific to each major curriculum.
Level 4
As written in manual: Scores of 4.5-5.49 in the subscales for activities, language and reasoning/listening and talking, and program structure, OR lesson plans reflecting benchmarks set by curriculum standards or age appropriate Florida state standards. Six weeks of lesson plans will be reviewed for each classroom. The plans may come directly from a purchased curriculum or be written by the program’s staff.
Review observations/assessments for 30% of children in each class.
Level 5
Lesson plans reviewed for explanation of small group or individual variations. Review evidence of communication with individual families about child’s progress, i.e. conference sign-in sheet; notes about conversation with parents;
