Coming soon: Registration for ECERS Training
ECERS stands for Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale and is a preferred tool for assessing best practices in Pre-K and kindergarten classrooms. The Scale covers areas such as space and furnishings; program structure; language-reasoning; and parent-staff relationships. In addition, the revised edition contains inclusive and culturally sensitive indicators for many items.
This training, presented by Stephanie Dockweiler, will introduce the tool, its format and how to score it. Participants will be able to return to their classrooms and conduct their own assessments
.
Each participant will receive a free copy of the ECERS Scale (revised edition) and a copy of the book All About the ECERS , which offers illustrations and explanations of the various indicators
.
There will be two sessions offered; each is a complete training, so participants should sign up for either the Nassau County or the Suffolk County date.
The training is free, but registration will be limited. Watch for announcements about start of registration.

Here are some registration tips:
Click on the words "REGISTER NOW" in bold red letters above.
You are now on the My Learning Plan website, on a page describing the Summer Institute. Click on the blue button that says "enroll." Follow the directions, depending on whether you are a new user or have an existing account.
Note:
Each individual must be registered separately. If you are an organization using a business credit card, the credit card number must be entered for each individual, and you may prefer to centralize registration. Nonetheless, each name must be entered individually and an MLP account created for each person.
If you are a school district employee or a community-based organization staff member, and your employer is using a purchase order for multiple registrants, check "purchase order." You can disregard statements asking you for an "enrollment approval" form.
When asked for your "District/Organization," select Other-Nassau or Other-Suffolk UNLESS you are an employee of the school district. If your paycheck comes from a school district, select the school district you work for.
If you do not get a course confirmation, please log in again to your My Learning Plan account and review your registration information to make sure it is correct.
If you continue to have difficulty with registration, please contact Janet Sluka at 516-396-2263 during regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) or email prek@nasboces.org
