Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
The process helps the assessor take an overview of the entire program. Rather than focus on the achievements of one child or the performance of one teacher, a good evaluation process includes curriculum development, parent involvement, the programs relationship to the community, the governance of the school, the financial structure, and the physical environment. This type of integrated assessment gives greater awareness to areas in need of improvement, such as teacher credentials and experience or staffing ratios, that are often indicators of good-quality programs. A key indication of a quality program is program evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
DCAP is the ability to go beyond ones own sociocultural background to ensure equal and fair teaching and learning experiences for all children. It includes adults ability to develop a multiethnic perspective.
