ECERS Training-- Choose March or April date
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.
You will receive a copy of the ECERS scale, and you will be introduced to its format and how to score it.
There will be two sessions offered; each is a complete training, so you should sign up for either the March or the April date. Presenter: Joan Rocchetta from the Child Care Council of Suffolk, Inc.
Registration fee: $60. Registration will be limited, so please sign up early.

Here are some registration tips:
Click on the words "REGISTER NOW" in bold letters above.
You are now on the My Learning Plan website, on a page describing your selected training.
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 a 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
