These guidance documents can be used as you score the 

Benchmarks of Quality each Fall and Spring.  

The BOQ guidance document provides details and examples for each rating. You may also find this helpful as you create action steps to implement Classroom Engagement Model program-wide.  There is a place for you to add notes about what things your team has in place and ideas you have for future action plans. 

• • CEM BOQ All Staff Input Survey - Some programs have found it helpful to collect input from all staff before completing the Benchmarks of Quality. You can create a copy of this template and edit to meet your program's specific needs. You may want to consider combining information from other surveys, such as questions about staff buy-in, in order to limit the number of times all staff are surveyed.

  • You may modify this template as needed and send to all staff at least 2-3 weeks prior to completing the BOQ as an implementation. Possibly give staff time to complete during a staff meeting or PLC.

  • Implementation Team BOQ Survey - send to implementation team members, along with the CEM BOQ guidance document, at least 1 week before the implementation meeting. If all implementation team members complete, you may enter any scores that have 100% agreement without further discussion. Your team will want to discuss and brainstorm around any items with differing scores.

  • All Staff Buy In Survey - this template may be modified for your program's specific needs and used annually (or more often if needed) to monitor staff buy in and collect information about possible areas of growth. You may also consider combining these questions with another survey to reduce the number of surveys staff need to complete.
