QRIS Portfolio - Program Administration Checklist

Please provide clarification:

Level 2 asks for health and safety procedures under the personal policies. This is also asked for again under level 4 under written policies. Is it possible for a school to submit the same information for both levels? If not, please provide specific examples of what is expected for level 2 and level 4. Thanks.

QRIS Portfolio Paperwork

A school has requested further information on the items below:

(i) On the classroom list form, does the school use the children’s first names only? There is a concern about privacy.

(ii) If the school has a computer programs that will compile the needed information for the classroom list form, could they attach it instead of filling out the form?

(iii) Under Curriculum 4A, does they school only supply the numbers from the Standards or is additional information required?

(iv) Under Curriculum 4B, are the schools able to request the information be reviewed on site? Not only are they concerned about privacy, but this would require the school to make a high number of copies.

Thank you and look forward to the clarification.

40 hour questions

Some licensing questions that I am hoping someone can help me out with....

If a teacher has a Masters degree and teaches in the afterschool program, does he/she need the 40 hours?

If a teacher has a Masters degree and teaches ages 5 + over the summer, does he/she need the 40 hours?

Does a substitute teacher in the 3 year old class need her 40 hours?

Thanks!

Driver Physical Form

Is there a new form for staff who drive the vans and buses that needs to be completed that includes a vision test? I was recently at a school and were asking about it in regards to changes that would begin soon.
Are the other changes to the ordinances that we should be aware of? If so, can those either be posted on the blog or emailed? It really helps when everyone is on the same page.

Space between Cribs

If there is space between the cribs, is it possible for a teacher to place an unused piece of equipment, such as a bouncy seat, in between the cribs, until it is used? The idea is too create more more floor space while the children are awake.
Please provide the details as to where the clarification can be found in the "All About the ITERS-R" book.
