A Message About the Performance Funding Project
|
|
We are excited to start a new year of the Performance Funding Project (PFP). We are thrilled to have a mix of returning and new providers who have submitted an application to be part of PFP this year.
PFP will look different for this 2017/2018 program year. Your tier is not based on how many years you have been a part of the PFP program. This year, the provider tier will be based on a composite score that is based on CLASS scores from last year. The first benchmark will not start until November 1, and there are only three benchmarks this year instead of four.
Providers will be notified of the date and time that an assessor will visit to conduct the pre-CLASS observation once that determination has been made.

Finalized FALL TSGs are due September 30
|
|
Teachers should observe and document child learning and development. Now is an excellent time to review and organize your TSG site. Check profiles for children, and edit when necessary. If a child has a TSG that has been transferred from another program, information will be available in the TSG Transfer folder; consider this a temporary placement. Move children into the correct classroom, and update information as needed.
As of the Spring TSG review, many programs had information about children information stored in the TSG Transfer folder. (Note: One provider had 22 children in this folder.) During a review, these children were not counted as complete.
The Coalition has a license with Teaching Strategies for a limited number of slots for children. If a child is no longer in your program, he/she needs to be archived. Do
NOT create a separate folder and name it “Previous Children” or “Children No Longer Here.”
In addition, if you have teachers who no longer work at your program and/or classes that have no children, they should be removed. If you need support, please email
redline@elcnwf.org
