Coaching with ECERS by Holly Seplocha
This title is in the Environment Rating Scale ® Family of Products. ECERS is widely used in the United States and internationally to assess the overall quality of preschool and kindergarten classrooms and to provide a framework for continuous quality improvement.

Coaching with ECERS will help refine classroom practices and environments so that scores will rise, not just for the day, but for every day.
