What Do You Think of QRIS? Now is Your Chance to Say!

What Do You Think of QRIS?

Now is your chance to say what you really think!

The Porter-Graham Group – the folks that wrote the design of ITERS/ECERS – has been hired by DHS to provide “outside evaluation”.

Tomorrow, the Porter-Graham Group is hosting its last listening session for the alleged purpose of seeking comment from 70 providers who are participating in QRIS to be weighted against comments from 30 providers who are not participating in QRIS.

In the meantime, SECAC (State Early Childhood Advisory Council) is hosting ANOTHER QRIS tour.  The SECAC QRIS Tour will not require registration and will not separate participating providers from non-participating providers.

All may attend and all may register comments both good and bad.

Statistics will be determined as to the most often mentioned issues and all will be presented from SECAC to the Frank Porter-Graham Group for inclusion in proper QRIS evaluation.
