Taking small steps toward change is a sensible way to improve the leadership and management practices in an early care and education program. A director must be able to make continuous improvements without alienating staff by asking them to make drastic changes that seem overwhelming and unachievable. Taking on change one step at a time is a way for a director to simplify the goal and demonstrate success early on in the change process. This article describes the "Program Administration Scale" (PAS), an assessment tool designed to help make change in small incremental steps. The PAS measures the quality of leadership and management practices of early care and education programs on a 7-point scale (from 1 meaning inadequate to 7 meaning excellent) on 79 quality indicator strands. PAS involves five steps: (1) rate individual PAS indicators; (2) generate a score for the PAS items; (3) create a PAS profile; (4) target areas for improvement; and (5) develop an action plan. Using the PAS for self-assessment and creating an action plan to improve program quality may seem daunting, but it can help reduce feelings of anxiety, encourage creativity, and increase effectiveness.
