Art and the Lesson Plan?

1. I have a teacher that wants to know about the lesson plan concerning Art! How is Art to be reflected on the lesson plan.. Should it be a planned activity/ free art? will the assessors look at the lesson plan on the day of the assessment?

Greeting/Departing

Does the ERS specify that the primary caregiver (lead teacher) must share the information with the parent, or can it be any classroom staff member? Please provide the pages numbers in ERS.

ITERS Diapering Procedure

When following the ITERS diapering procedure, staff remove their gloves to wipe their hands in the middle of the process. By Florida DCF standards do they have to put gloves on again to finish the diapering procedure or can they continue without gloves?

Inservice hours

What is the time frame allowed for inservice credit, expecially for those centers coming up on full rating visits halfway through their program year? Will they be required to show the full amount of inservice needed at a specific star level for this first half of the year or will credit be given by what they attained last year? If the center has a written policy that all staff must attend X amount of hours, can credit be given for intent?
