Excellence and Seder Plates

Whoa! We accomplished a lot at this meeting. This group meets at a different cadence (once every 3-4 months) so we always have to do a little refresher at the beginning. We then dove right in to the topic of excellence and quality. We had done a lot of behind the scenes research talking to experts in the early childhood field (both secular and Jewish). We shared the 5 Essentials Framework as a way to think about quality and started to explore tools - specifically CLASS and ECERS - to asses program quality. Take a look at the deck and notes below to see what we discussed.
