Why is an ERS assessment important?
When providers use the ERS scales to assess their own classrooms or have an outside assessor conduct assessments, they learn valuable information about strengths and areas of growth needed in each classroom and age group. Using this information helps the providers make decisions about what areas of quality can be addressed in the early learning program. ERS assessments also help Keystone STARS providers celebrate growth as they achieve the scores needed for STAR 3 and STAR 4 and make decisions about continuous quality improvement.
