Equity is Quality, Quality is Equity: Operationalizing Equity in Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (PDF)
This article describes the lack of an equity lens in the history of early childhood program quality rating systems. The authors address the flaws in quality rating systems (QRS) as they relate to equity for marginalized communities and offer suggestions for improvement of QRS toward a more equitable system of measuring quality in early childhood programs.
