CONGRATULATIONS TO VPSB LA4 PRE-K PROGRAMS

Good news for Vermilion Parish Pre-K teachers recently arrived reporting the results for the past year’s ECERS Ratings for five of our hard-working teachers.  ECERS, the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, is an exacting evaluation based on seven subscales: the classroom’s space, furnishings, personal care routines, language-reasoning strategies, activities, interaction, program structure, and parents and staff.  The Pre-K program is evaluated annually using this rating scale.  This is the first time that all Vermilion Parish teachers evaluated with this rigorous environmental rating scale outlined by Federal guidelines scored above 5 ratings and passed the assessment. Those evaluated include at Dozier Elementary - Tasha Trahan, at Herod Elementary - Stephanie Robichaux, and at Kaplan Elementary – Tessa Badeaux, Angela Broussard, and Sandy Richard.  These teachers, their paraprofessionals, and principals, are to be commended on their hard work, dedication, and excellent attention to meeting the requirements mandated by the state of Louisiana.
