My program’s last report to NAEYC was submitted under the old “guidelines.” Are reports submitted under the current NAEYC standards the same as those submitted under the old guidelines?
No, the reports are quite different. NCATE, in collaboration with NAEYC and other specialty professional associations (SPAs), revised the format of program reports and implemented a new system in 2004. The report is now shorter and simpler than previous reports; it is based on evidence from 6 – 8 key assessments and may be not longer than 35 pages in length (this does not include attachments). The new system is Web based, and submissions and reviews occur electronically. New templates for both Initial-licensure and Advanced program reports are available through the NAEYC and NCATE Web sites. In spite of the format changes, the premise of evaluation remains the same: Reviewers continue to evaluate early childhood programs on their capacity to demonstrate candidate proficiency across the five NAEYC standards.
