Instructions
For this assignment
you will complete the Early Childhood Rating Scale on a preschool environment
and make appropriate suggestions for improving the environment. The Booklet you
will require is ECERS-3, 3rd. edition
1. Read through and become familiar with the Clifford, R., Cryer, D. &
Harms, T. (2015) Early childhood environment rating scale (3rd.
edition). New York, NY. Teachers College Press. Grading is carefully explained
by corresponding section, including subscales and notes for clarification.
2. Choose a preschool environment (3-5 year olds) in your area. Discuss the
assignment with the teacher of the program so that he/she is aware of what you
will be doing. If you are currently working in a preschool program you may use
that environment.
3. Following the guidelines set out in the booklet, ECERS-3, 3rd Edition,
begin by reading pp 7-10, then read the rating scale items and notes for
clarification for each section, beginning with Space and Furnishings, and
administer the rating scale beginning on p. 84. Students will reference
course materials and the booklet when making choices for the six sections.
4. When you have completed the rating scale, write a summary of your
experience, and make specific suggestions for improving the environment based
on the results of the rating scale.
5. Scan and submit all score sheets, your written summary, and suggestions
for improvement. Be sure to consider all areas of the environment when
completing your summary and making your suggestions for improvement.
Note: You might also find the tables in Appendix B (Feeney, et al., 2010, pp.
473-478) helpful for your evaluation and suggestions.
