Background: The Ohio Department of Job
and Family Services (ODJFS) has revised our Step Up To Quality (SUTQ)
curriculum offerings and will no longer offer HighScope materials for use in
programs.
The following form will be available in ODJFS Forms Central in
February 2022.
Implementation:
JFS 01598 "Curriculum and Assessment Request For Step Up To
Quality" was revised to collect more information about the program and
owner. References to HighScope curricula was removed. Teaching Strategies curricula
and assessments continue to be offered.
Newly revised rules no longer display a revision date in the
e-manual. The most recent version of all ODJFS forms can be accessed through Forms Central. Programs should
begin to use the revised forms as of the date of this procedure letter.
