Overview:
The “ECERS-3 In-depth” webinar course is perfect for those organizations that have found themselves working from home as a result of COVID-19 and currently not able to go into classrooms to offer face-to-face technical assistance or conduct evaluations. Coaches, educational coordinators, technical assistance specialists, and QRIS evaluators can increase content knowledge of ECERS-3 requirements through participation in this course. The ECERS-3 In-depth course will help ECERS-3 users to broaden their understanding of the scale requirements and prepare for successful reliability testing. All ECERS-3 In-depth webinars will be taught by authors of All About ECERS-3.

Format:
The ECERS-3 In-depth webinar is offered in series of modules that provide information and interpretations of all ECERS-3 indicator requirements. Each module consists of two webinars. Each webinar is two hours and covers two items. These webinar courses are heavy in content information with rationales for ECERS-3 requirements. Each indicator will be broken down, explaining terms like “some, many, usually” and describing what it looks like in a classroom setting. There will be time set aside for answering questions. You can select what module you want to complete or you can take all modules. Modules must be attended at the scheduled times and are not available to be viewed later. A certificate of attendance will be given for all completed modules.
