Different scales are used based on the program or ages served.
In Kentucky, we are currently using…
Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale – ITERS-R
Classrooms that have children ages infant – 3 years.
For this training we will be focusing on the ECERS-3.
Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale – ECERS-3
Classrooms that have children ages 3 years – enrolled in school.
School-Age Care Environment Rating Scale – SACERS-U
Classrooms that have school age children.
How are the ERS used in Kentucky?
Quality Coaches use ERSs to support best practices and guide programs in continuous quality improvement.
Raters use ERSs as an official tool to determine level of quality during rating visits.
Raters and Specialists must maintain reliability on the ERSs to ensure consistency across the state.
Click the link above to print or download a copy of the course handout. Access to the handout during the training is highly encouraged as it will be used to make notes and serve as a future resource for information.
Take a moment to write down a few questions you have about the ECERS-3 in your handout.
If these questions are not addressed during the training reach out to your Quality Coach to get the answers.
Individuals under guardianship will have both assets (property owned), and liabilities (financial obligations).

Within Canvas there are limited options to editing your font type.
Canvas allows you to change the font size manually. Or you can change font style between paragraph, preformatted, heading 4, heading 3, and heading 2. You are also able to manually bold, italicize, or underline text. As well as change the text color and background color.
While it can be beneficial if too many options are overwhelming, it can also limit the ability to make things “pretty.” You may need to play around with the different options to find what works well for you as a trainer and what would work well for your training.
There are other features that can be added within the content to add some depth and personality to the training, we will go over those in a bit more detail later in this training.
Finish up your Online Course for self assessment and grading for the final assignment.
Wait until after face-to-face day to get your course set up and work on your On Demand course.
If you are feeling super ambitious, you could always work on more course outlines or review Creating a New Course.
