  • The 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 7 For questions, please email: [email protected]

  • Alignment of the California Preschool Learning Foundations with the Common Core State Standards
  • Slide 9
  • The Preschool Learning Foundations Goal: 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 support At around 48 months of age At around 60 months of age Cover nine developmental domains 9 For questions, please email: [email protected]

  • Slide 11
  • The Common Core State Standards Goal: 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 stakeholders Age Range: Standards for every grade level (K-12 th grade) Domains: English-Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Mathematics 11 For questions, please email: [email protected]
  • Slide 12
  • The Alignment Draws the connection between the preschool learning foundations in the domains: Language and Literacy Mathematics and 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 12 For questions, please email: [email protected]

  • Domain: Language and Literacy Alignment of the Preschool Learning Foundations and the Kindergarten Common Core State Standards
  • Slide 14
  • Language and Literacy Alignment at Strand Level: Preschool Foundations Common Core Standards-KG Listening and Speaking Reading Writing Speaking and Listening Language Standards Reading Standards for Literature Reading Standards for Informational Texts Reading Standards: Foundational Skills Writing Standards 14

  • Slide 17
  • Language 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: Reading Fluency (Read text with purpose and understanding) Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity Writing Production and Distribution of Writing Research to Build and Present Knowledge 17 For questions, please email: [email protected]
  • Slide 18
  • Developmental Progression Across Age-Levels Example: Concepts about Print Preschool Foundations At around 60 months Common Core Standards-K Concepts about Print 1.1 Display appropriate book-handling behaviors and knowledge of print conventions. 1.2 Understand that print is something that is read and has specific meaning Print Concepts 1. 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. 18 For questions, please email: [email protected]

  • Domain: Mathematics Alignment of the Preschool Learning Foundations and the Kindergarten Common Core State Standards 19
  • Slide 20
  • Mathematics Alignment at Strand Level: Preschool Foundations Common Core Standards-K Number Sense Algebra and Functions (Classification and Patterning) Measurement Geometry Mathematical Reasoning Counting and Cardinality Operations and Algebraic Thinking Number and Operations in Base Ten Measurement and Data Geometry Mathematical Practices 20 For questions, please email: [email protected]
  • Slide 21
  • Mathematics Alignment 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. 21 For questions, please email: [email protected]

  • Slide 25
  • Mathematics Alignment 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 reasoning Do not include standards related to patterning, subitizing (number sense), and measuring length (measurement). Developmental progression across age-levels in every substrand 25 For questions, please email: [email protected]
  • Slide 26
  • Developmental Progression Across Age-Levels Example: Number Sense (Counting) Preschool Foundations At around 60 months Common Core Standards- K 1.1 Recites numbers in order to twenty with increasing accuracy. Know number names and the count sequence Count 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). 26 For questions, please email: [email protected]
  • Slide 27
  • In 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. 27 For questions, please email: [email protected]
