Therefore, when a classroom includes materials, activities, and a schedule that is developmentally appropriate, the requirements for the many, specific materials found in the ECERS-R should not be surprising for a group of children that includes older two-year-olds. For NC's assessment process, items that directly reflect children's daily experiences are scored. To determine how many assessments are needed, first consider the age ranges of the different classrooms and which rating scale they fit into (e.g., infant and toddler rooms use the ITERS-R, older two-year old rooms and preschool rooms use the ECERS-R). !!9iSyrU8N0;01N6u`Rt}P u4f. hb```b``c`a``[ @1h``d 4 endstream
