Who will be doing the assessments?
Highly trained assessors from the DHS Assessment Offices across the state will be doing the assessments. In some cases, one assessor will do all the assessments for a provider. In other cases there may be two or more different assessors working in different classrooms. How many assessors show up will depend on how many classrooms need to be assessed and which scale needs to be used in each classroom. From time to time there will be two people assessing the same classroom. When this happens, it is for the purpose of checking the reliability of assessors to make sure that all assessors are consistent in how they score items on the Scales.
