 * Two people here for on-site State Visit - Overview of components for verification. Probably only verifying 4 year-old program.
 * Supervision of children - 3.9 - will be observed in many locations.
 * Goal of self-assessment is to look honestly at our practice and move from an A to a D.
 * First verification visit is a stand alone visit, then with District's state site visit after that.
 * Classroom Portfolios - Start on sections 1, 2, and 4 (Family/community, Curriculum, Assessment)
 * Sharing with Families - This is how we do assessment. This is what you could do at home. Notes back and forth to families. Need documentation about communication with families about assessment practices. Need to show that families are involved in assessment, that they understand the assessment.
 * On-line medication administration course for teachers/associates. TWK working on diaper rash cream.
 * Home Visits - Teachers are required to do home visits - thinking 2 per year per family. TWK and KS will find within program documents.
 * Average 2-3 pieces of evidence for every standard. For required standards with bulleted items, you need 2-3 items for each bulleted point.
