Step Two: Review of Standard Matrices

Standard Matrices: administrative practices, personnel qualifications,

professional development, learning environment, family engagement, program evaluation, health and safety, nutrition, service to children with disabilities, community partnerships, mental health, transportation, ERSEA and child health

Anchor criteria are on the far left (mainly based on NAEYC accreditation criteria)

We tried to indicate a reference number and phrasing that will help the reviewer to examine the criteria and rating for accuracy

Each criteria in each program standard received a “comparability rating” OIR team went through a cross-checking process; this review is the third “check”

Rating Comparability Description 1 No comparability/no match

2 Meets criteria in part but policy or practice is not specific enough

3 Comparable: spirit of criteria is met but wording could be stronger

4 Equal: clear that the wording and meaning are equivalent

Step Two: Comparability Rating Matrix
