The Alignment of the California Preschool Learning Foundations with Key Early Education ResourcesThis presentation is drawn from a project of the California Department of Education, Child Development Division1

2

A Comprehensive Look at Alignment Alignment of the Preschool Foundations with: Californias Infant Toddler Learning and Development Foundations Kindergarten Content Standards Kindergarten Common Core Standards Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework

3For questions, please email: [email protected]



6For questions, please email: [email protected] Purposes of Alignment:Make connections between the preschool foundations and the standards in other resources

Show the developmental progression in different domains along a continuum: Infant/toddler - Preschool- Kindergarten

Inform and guide the planning and development of curriculum and assessment materials

7For questions, please email: [email protected] of the California Preschool Learning Foundations with the Common Core State Standards

8The Preschool Learning FoundationsGoal: To strengthen preschool education and childrens school readiness

Developed by researchers, early childhood educators, and other stakeholders.Age Range: Describe key knowledge and skills that children acquire with appropriate supportAt around 48 months of ageAt around 60 months of ageCover nine developmental domains

10For questions, please email: [email protected] Common Core State StandardsGoal: Clear and consistent goals for learning, to prepare Americas children for success in college and work

Led by the National Governors Association (NGA), and the Council of Chief State School Offices (CCSSO), and developed in collaboration with a variety of stakeholdersAge Range: Standards for every grade level (K-12th grade)Domains:English-Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.Mathematics

11For questions, please email: [email protected] Alignment Draws the connection between the preschool learning foundations in the domains:Language and LiteracyMathematicsand the corresponding common core state standards.Illustrates the developmental progression of key foundations in these domains, as they relate to specific common core state standards

16For questions, please email: [email protected] and Literacy Alignment Analysis:Substantial correspondence in content between the preschool foundations and the common core state standards in all areas

Certain common core standards focus on skills that emerge in kindergarten, and therefore have no corresponding content in the preschool foundations: ReadingFluency (Read text with purpose and understanding)Range of Reading and Level of Text ComplexityWritingProduction and Distribution of WritingResearch to Build and Present Knowledge

17For questions, please email: [email protected] Progression Across Age-LevelsExample: Concepts about PrintPreschool FoundationsAt around 60 months

Common Core Standards-K

Concepts about Print1.1 Display appropriate book-handling behaviors and knowledge of print conventions.1.2 Understand that print is something that is read and has specific meaningPrint Concepts1. Demonstrate understanding of the organization and basic features of print.Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.

20For questions, please email: [email protected] at Strand Level:Even though the preschool foundations and the common core standards are organized somewhat differently, overall, both cover the same key areas in mathematics. Differences in organization:Content related to number sense in the preschool learning foundations is represented in two key area in the common core state standards: counting and cardinality, and operations and algebraic thinking.Content in number and operations in base ten of the Common Core State Standards is too advanced for it to have corresponding content in the preschool foundations.Content related to Classification appears under algebra and function in the preschool foundations, and under measurement and data in the Common Core State Standards.




24For questions, please email: [email protected] at Substrand Level:For almost every substrand of the preschool learning foundations, there is a category in the common core state standards with corresponding content.

The Common Core State Standards Include differentiated standards in mathematical reasoningDo not include standards related to patterning, subitizing (number sense), and measuring length (measurement).

Developmental progression across age-levels in every substrand

25For questions, please email: [email protected] Progression Across Age-LevelsExample: Number Sense (Counting)Preschool FoundationsAt around 60 months

Common Core Standards- K

1.1 Recites numbers in order to twenty with increasing accuracy.Know number names and the count sequenceCount to 100 by ones and by tens.Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).

26For questions, please email: [email protected] Summary,The alignment indicates substantial correspondence in content between the preschool learning foundations and the common core state standards.

The two documents cover the same key areas in language & literacy and in mathematics, even when the content is organized somewhat differently in the preschool foundations and in the common core standards. The alignment illustrates a developmental progression across age-levels, and the differentiation of competencies as children learn and develop.
