ERS Community Resources

The Environment Rating Scales (ERS) project at Clayton started in 2004 as part of the Research and Evaluation Department and is now part of the Quality Assessment Services Department. The Inter-Rater Reliability (IRR) Team are state anchors for the Environment Rating Scales-they are your local ERS experts!

The IRR Team is trained annually by The Environment Rating Scale Institute (ERSI) in North Carolina (authors of the scales).

ERSI provides national scale resources, while the IRR Team provides state-specific information.
