    Learning Standards

    Learning Standards

    Both Prekindergarten (PK) and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) implement the following:
      • The Foundations provide an overview of the key knowledge and skills that most children can achieve when provided with interaction, instruction, and an environment that is based on the research of early experiences shown to promote early learning and development. These foundational skills are considered to be early childhood "standards" for learning. 
      • The Frameworks provides an overall approach for teachers to support student learning through environments and experiences that are developmentally appropriate, reflective of thoughtful observation and intentional planning, individually and culturally meaningful, and inclusive of children with disabilities and special needs.
