Early Learning Guidelines: What are States Doing and What are the Implications?
Jana Martella - Karen Alexander McGinley - Catherine Scott Little -Jim Lesko
Almost half of the states have published Early Learning Guidelines to describe the characteristics, skills, and knowledge they hope to facilitate in infants and toddlers. Participants in this session will learn how states can develop high quality guidelines that support best practices for infants and toddlers, hear recommendations from the ZERO TO THREE Expert Advisory Panel, and learn the results of content analyses of guidelines. Participants will discuss implications for developing or implementing early learning guidelines for infants and toddlers, how they connect and align with guidelines for children aged three to eight and for young children with disabilities.
