Child Care Center Administrators Tools and Professional Learning
Tools for Child Care Center Administrators
Research consistently finds that high-quality administrative practices are crucial for ensuring classroom and overall program quality as well as beneficial results for children and families.
Administrator Role Perception Survey (ARPS)
The Administrator Role Perception Survey (ARPS) Center-Based is designed for administrators of center-based early childhood education centers. Administrators complete the 25-minute survey and are emailed an ARPS Profile within four weeks. The ARPS Profile is intended to serve as a springboard for personal growth and professional development. Pre- and post-ARPS data have also been used across a number of research studies and professional development initiatives to examine changes in Whole Leadership improvement across time.
The Program Administration Scale, third edition (PAS-3)
The Program Administration Scale, third edition (PAS-3) offers center-based administrators and those who support them a valid, reliable, and easy-to-use tool to help measure and target improvements in Whole Leadership practices. This valuable tool includes 25 items clustered in 9 subscales, which measure the Whole Leadership functions of center-based early care and education programs. The PAS-3 is applicable for multiple uses: program self-improvement, technical assistance, professional development, quality monitoring, research, evaluation, and public awareness.
