Enhance Smart Start Program Quality with LearnERS
Developed in partnership with ERS® author Debby Cryer, LearnERS CQI is a cost-effective online professional development and quality-improvement tool based on the Environment Rating Scale® (ERS) Family of Products for ECERS, ITERS, and FCCERS.
LearnERS CQI guides program enhancements, improves quality, and helps you increase your Star Rating. It accommodates busy schedules, with online courses available 24/7 in both English and Spanish.
Achieving higher scores on ERS assessments is crucial for programs seeking 3 to 7 points in the Program Standards component of the Star Rated License. LearnERS provides a roadmap to help teachers and providers reach those higher ERS scores.
LearnERS focuses on strengthening fundamental understanding of the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale® (ECERS™), Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale (ITERS™), and Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale (FCCERS™).
