CIL11: Program has completed the Environment Rating Scale (ERS-3) or Social Emotional Learning Program Quality Assessment (SEL PQA) Self-Assessment for every age group/classroom.
Completing a self-assessment can help administrators, owners, and staff understand how several factors encourage the development of children and schoolagers, including:
- Indoor and outdoor arrangements of space
- Materials and activities offered
- Classroom supervision and interactions, including language
- Daily schedule of routines and activities
Programs evaluating themselves using a self-assessment tool can set goals to increase safe, organized spaces that:
- Provide positive experiences
- Ensure the program or classrooms are supportive and comfortable
- Create access for children, school-agers, and families of all abilities
- Provide safe space for exploration
- Promote development and independence
