  3. Reviewer’s Guidelines • All fees must be paid by December 1, 2010, for review March 2011. • No candidates are to be admitted to old programs. Full approval based on new SBE Early Childhood Education (ZA) endorsement standards must be obtained before candidates are admitted to programs after December 2011.

  4. Reviewer’s Guidelines • The Professional Preparation and Development Unit staff will receive the electronic application for program approval. • When the full application is received, the institution will be sent a notice for remittance of a review fee as determined by legislative action in 2007. • If the fee is received by December 1, 2010, the application will be recorded as available for review in March 2011.

  5. Reviewer’s Guidelines • As you review please remember that this review process should: • Support institutions that submit documentation highlighting the quality of their ZA program. • Provide valuable feedback in relationship to the new Early Childhood Education (ZA) endorsement standards.

  6. Reviewer’s Guidelines • The process is not designed to: • Replicate a program you may have graduated from or work within. • Evaluate the institution’s capacity to use technology for documentation.
