California Preschool Learning Foundations CDE/CDD/SED 2008 Social-Emotional Development Language and Literacy English-Language Development Mathematics Visual and Performing Arts Physical Development Health (1 minute) The icons on the spine of the cover are significant. Each icon represents a domain. Note “Volume 1” on the cover. Volume 1 contains the first four domains (the first four icons reading from the top of the page). Volume 2 will contain the next three domains (visual/performing arts, physical development, and health), Volume 3 will contain the last two domains (history/social science and science). The icons and their colors are used to identify domain sections inside of the book. We will look at the sections of the book more carefully later in the presentation.

Preschool Learning Foundations ~Domains~ Social-Emotional Development English- Language Development Currently, California has developed preschool learning foundations for four domains: Social-Emotional Development, Language and Literacy, English-Language Development, and Mathematics. The foundations written for each of these domains are based on research and evidence and are enhanced with expert practioners’ suggestions and examples. Language and Literacy Mathematics 11/20/2018 California Preschool Learning Foundations CDE/CDD/SED 2008 6 6

Foundations are the “WHAT” Promote understanding of preschool children’s learning and development At 48 and 60 months Describe the knowledge and skills children typically attain when in a high-quality preschool program with adequate support

Foundations inform the “How To’s” Guide decisions related to best practices, curriculum, and instructional strategies Environments and materials Child-directed play and teacher-guided learning

Current Research Highlights… “High quality preschool education that includes an emphasis on children’s social development can reduce rates of challenging behavior and serve as a long-term protective factor for children at risk of developing challenging behaviors”. NIEER Policy Brief, December 2007. “Challenging Behaviors and the Role of Preschool Education” Children with IEPs face challenges in accessing a preschool experience. Many children from disadvantaged environments are in need of the social skills necessary to function in school. These 2 research slides set the stage for Discussion Prompt that follows.

Current Research Highlights… “Young children cannot learn to read if they have problems that distract them from educational activities, problems following directions, problems getting along with others and controlling negative emotions, and problems that interfere with relationships…Learning is a social process” This makes a case for Soc-Emo Dev. As “School Readiness” Zins et al., 2004 Excerpted from: Recommended Practices: Linking Social Development and Behavior to School Readiness Center for Evidence-Based Practice: Young Children with Challenging Behavior www.ChallengingBehavior.org

Browse and Discuss How do the Social-Emotional Development Foundations support planning that meets the educational needs of children with disabilities and challenging behavior? Direct the participants to form groups of 3-6 to review the S-E Foundation within a Strand and discuss the prompt question for 5-8 minutes. Foundations provide understanding of what is developmentally appropriate. Foundations define the skills and competencies to be mastered in the social setting of preschool. Programs must be prepared to positively support kids in this learningRtI, positive behavioral supports, etc.

Why Preschool Learning Foundations are Important for Special Education They inform regular preschool activities for the State of California. They provide direction and substance to conducting assessments, writing IEPs and implementing programs. 11/20/2018 18

IDEA Citations FAPE: § 300.17 Free appropriate public education… includes preschool Access: § 300.39 ensure access to the general curriculum, meet the educational standards that apply to all children IEP Goals: § 300.320 …including academic and functional goals, that enable the child to be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum 11/20/2018

The Role of Foundations in Early Childhood Special Education Foundations and the Curriculum Framework define regular preschool activities Preschool as FAPE/LRE IEP = access to regular preschool activities Goals Accommodations Services and support Relate this back to the State Performance Plan Indicators and Law 11/20/2018

Addressing IEP Goals Special education is: Services and supports in the “Least Restrictive Environment” LRE is an early education experience (preschool) Preschool is first in a continuum of placement options Hearken to the beginning of SPED when researchers documented that it wasn’t enough to teach skills in isolation. Needed to generalize them to functional settings.

A Closer Look at Social-Emotional Foundations On your Reflection Sheet: Think of an IEP goal written for a child in your program .... Jot it down. Which Strand do you think is addressed? Work in teams of 2-3: Find foundation statements and descriptions that relate to your goals. Jot them down. Discuss how Foundations connect to IEP goals. Activity: Need 3-4 copies of Foundations books per table. Collect at the end of activity to avoid theft? Each bullet should come in on the Click to move the group through the steps. Next slide can be displayed (Soc-Emo strands) while group works Direct participants to take out Reflection Sheet Wrap up discussion: Do IEP goals appropriately match with foundations and child’s Developmental level?
