La ECERS-R es una revisión completa de la ECERS (Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale®, en inglés), un instrumento que se usa ampliamente para evaluar la calidad de los programas de la infancia temprana. Diseñada para el uso en la educación preescolar, en el jardín infantil, y en clases del cuidado infantil que dan servicios a niños de 2 años y medio a 5 años de edad, la ECERS-R puede ser usada por directores de programas para la supervisión y el mejoramiento del programa, por los maestros para la auto-evaluación, por agencias para el monitoreo, y en programas de entrenamiento de maestros. La confiabilidad y validez de escala establecidas la hacen especialmente útil para investigaciones y para la evaluación de programas.
¡Nuevo para la edición revisada!
La nueva ECERS-R ha sido ampliada a 43 ítems e incluye muchos mejoramientos que harán este recurso ampliamente utilizado aún más valioso para los educadores en la infancia temprana. Ejemplos de nuevos ítems incluyen:
¡Organización conveniente!
Cada uno de los 43 ítems se expresa como una escala de 7 puntos con indicadores para 1 (inadecuado), 3 (mínimo), 5 (bueno), y 7 (excelente). Se incluyen Notas para Clarificación y preguntas para algunos ítems.
Una sección introductoria da información detallada acerca del fundamento de la ECERS-R, el proceso de la revisión, y la confiabilidad y validez de la escala. Se incluyen con la escala instrucciones completas para la administración y la calificación, además de una Hoja de Calificación y Perfil que se pueden fotocopiar.

Dr. Harms is recognized internationally for her work on assessing care and educational programs for children. Her early experience as Head Teacher of the Harold E. Jones Child Study Center, UC Berkeley for 15 years, and her subsequent role as Director of Curriculum Development at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute prepared her to serve as lead co-author of the four Environment Rating Scales (ECERS, ITERS, FCCERS, and SACERS). Much of her recent training and consultation through the Environment Rating Scales Institute (ERSI) has focused on preparing professionals in the use of the scales for research, technical assistance, training, and program assessment in Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) and similar quality enhancement projects in the United States and abroad.
