Discover how your work with children already meets state standards. Make Early Learning Standards Come Alive provides practical help, support, and clear explanations of how to make early learning standards come alive in classrooms and programs. Easy-to-read charts show you how different states define standards in each of the major content areas and how you can address these standards in your classroom.

This book will show you how to:

• implement standards in ways that are developmentally appropriate and beneficial for children
• develop reasonable and efficient ways to assess children’s progress toward the standards
• plan curriculum with specific learning standards in mind in each of the seven major content areas—including communication and literacy, math, science, social studies, social/emotional development, physical development and health, and creative arts
• be accountable while offering real alternatives to inappropriate testing and unreasonable expectations for outcomes
