Instructions for Completing the Environment Rating Scale Summary of Findings

At the Contractor Level

 Average the ERS sub-scale scores for all of the classrooms/family child care homes. If the contractor has multiple sites, first
average sub-scale scores by site and then average those scores by contract.

 Complete a contractor-level ERS Summary of Findings for each contract. Fill out the information at the top of the page.

Item or Sub-Scale Average

 List all sub-scale names and scores for averages below "5."

Key Findings

 Summarize the descriptions of the reasons why the items received a score below "5," focusing on the most frequent issues.

 Develop and write at least two action steps that can be implemented program wide for each sub-scale average score below
"5."
Note: If the ERS Profile has no subscale averages below “5,” select two items common
to most of the classrooms/homes and develop action steps for improving program quality in these areas.

Action Steps

 Develop and write attainable action steps to improve the score to at least a "5."
 Include materials and training needed schedule, space, and supervision changes.

Expected Completion Date and Follow-up

 Write the date when the action steps are expected to be completed. List the name of the person(s) responsible for completing
the steps.
