Project Recap To DateMarch 2015:

Project launched in March with a 35+ member work group consisting of experts from early learning, K-12, and the research community. April-June 2015: Four small work groups drafted aligned standards language for the domains of language, literacy, math, and social-emotional development/approaches to learning.

June 23-24, 2015: In-person, work group decided to:

Use new Head Start Learning Outcomes Framework as the foundation for aligned standardsInclude domain-level introductory narrative

Include age level progressionsJuly 2015: Initial working draft language was shared with the work group via webinar. Key areas for feedback included:How inclusive is draft language of multiple settings?How culturally responsive is the draft language?

How effectively does draft language address accommodations/differentiation for children who receive special education services?Slide16
