OMEP will establish a list with links or downloads of these quality assessment materials. A report on the meeting of the Global Guidelines Task Force appears on the Downloads page of http://www.omep-usa.org.
: All OMEP member countries are asked to submit samples or a list of program quality assessment criteria, instruments, or documents used in your countries. Specifically, this request is for quality assessment guidelines or criteria that ECEC professionals in your country or region find useful and appropriate. These should be sent to Judith Wagner, Global Guidelines Task Force Chair by December 1, 2011.
Members of OMEP- (insert name of your own country) ask that you contact our representatives at the United Nations at your earliest convenience to urge them to declare a Decade of Early Childhood. Please contact me if members of OMEP-(insert name of your country) can assist you in this effort.
Sincerely yours,
