Agenda • Welcome • Program Self-Evaluation • Updates to the 2014 process • Summary of Findings/Program Action Plans • Question & Answer
Intent of Webinar • Understand what is new in 2014 Program Self-Evaluation (PSE) Process
The Program Self-Evaluation (PSE) requires that the Desired Results system data be compiled and summarized for the: • DRDP • DR Parent Survey • Environment Rating Scale
Program Self Evaluation • Guides programs by examining all three components of the Desired Results system • Determines program strengths • Determines areas of improvement • Establishes program goals for the upcoming year
The PSE requires completion of: • DR Program Action Plan Reflection on Action Steps (CD 3900)* • Program Self Evaluation Annual Report (CD 4000)* • DRDP Summary of Findings and Program Action Plan (CD 4001 A)* • ERS Summary of Findings (CD 4002) • Parent Survey Summary of Findings (CD 4003) Due to EESD by June 2ndat 5:00 pm
PSE Forms • Each CD form has a sheet of instructions. • Please read the instructions of each form.
Programs are to… • Reflect on last year’s action plan being implemented this contract year • Consider educational goals: • Identify what went well • Identify what still needs improvement • Complete one CD3900 form for each contract type by age group
The PSE requires all teachers to: • Complete the DRDP for each child twice a year • Summarize classroom data • Complete classroom Summary of Findings (CD 4001B)
Group data is compiled to inform: • Professional Development • Curriculum/Materials Required • Staff or Program Schedules • Child-Staff Interactions • Parent Education/Community Outreach • Program or Classroom Use of Space
Comparison of FormsCD4001A vs. CD4001B • Place forms CD4001A and CD 4001B side by side. • Type a difference or similarity between the forms in the chat box.

Writing a Summary of Findings and a program action plan!
A Summary of Findings... • Identifies the Key Findings based on the data • Describes Action Steps to address Key Findings • Identifies who will complete the Action Steps and completion dates • Describes follow up as needed
Step 1Identifying Key Findings Where is the program now?
Key Findings are the trends or important information found when analyzing data from the assessment tools on the previous page.These findings are used to improve the quality of the program resulting in better outcomes for children and families.
DRDP Summary of Findings/Program Action Plan Provide Key Findings in percentages. • You have identified a finding. • What educational goal for children could you add?
Educational Program Goals..Where does the program want to go? • Address important issues regarding the educational needs of children identified in the program findings • Are based upon the DRDP findings Choose only one or two goals per age group.
Write Key Findings and an Educational Goal for each age group in your program • Infant/Toddler • Preschool • School-age
Action StepsHow does the program get there? • Are the what and the how • May include resources • May address how parents will be involved in reaching the program goal • Be specific and outline all steps
Consider a variety of strategies including: • Curriculum modifications • Professional development • Curriculum • Materials required • Staff or program schedules • Child-staff interactions • Program or classroom use of space • Parent education, or community outreach • Suggested resources
