Ask participants to refer to their Early Learning and Development System handout. Briefly go over the following, emphasizing the items in bold. At the center of the system are the Preschool Learning Foundations which describe the learning and development that preschool children typically demonstrate with appropriate support at around 48 and 60 months of age. The Preschool Curriculum Framework offers guidance on how programs and teachers can support the learning and development that are described in the foundations, through environments and experiences that are linguistically and developmentally appropriate, as well as individually and culturally meaningful and connected. The Desired Results Assessment system is designed to document the progress made by children and families in achieving desired results and provides information to help practitioners improve their child care and development services. The Desired Results Developmental Profile ©(DRDP©) is an observation assessment instrument that enables teachers to document children’s learning and developmental progress along a continuum of four developmental levels. Professional development is provided through the state’s extensive higher education system, the California Preschool Instructional Network, the Faculty Initiative Project, and other CDE activities. The Program Guidelines and Resources component includes publications such as the Prekindergarten Learning & Development Guidelines and the Preschool English Learners: Principles and Practices to Promote Language, Literacy, and Learning (PEL Guide). 2 2
