Background:
As the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) implement the five-star Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) program, the departments continue to identify areas to strengthen efficiency and consistency.
New Policy:
The JFS 01596 "Staff Worksheet for Step Up To Quality (SUTQ)" is a form for SUTQ rated programs and providers to complete to indicate administrator(s), lead and assistant teacher(s) employed by the program. ODJFS and ODE will use this to determine the current and previous training periods for staff listed by the program.
This form is available on the ODJFS forms central webpage http://www.odjfs.state.oh.us/forms/inter.asp and http://www.earlychildhood.org/.
