The California Preschool TK Learning Foundations have been released!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The California Preschool Learning Foundations outline key knowledge and skills that most children can achieve when provided with the kinds of interactions, instruction, and environments that research has shown to promote early learning and development. The foundations can provide early childhood educators, parents, and the public with a clear understanding of the wide range of knowledge and skills that preschool children typically attain when given the benefits of a high-quality preschool program.

The foundations were developed using an inclusive and deliberative input process, including statewide stakeholder meetings, public input sessions held throughout the state, public hearings, and public comment. Input from the various review opportunities was considered and incorporated as appropriate.

California Preschool Learning Foundations, Volume 1

On January 22, 2008, the California Department of Education (CDE) released the California Preschool Learning Foundations, Volume (PDF; 5MB) . Former State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell stated that these foundations offer our early childhood educators a clear understanding of what our youngest learners should know before entering kindergarten.

Volume 1 of the California Preschool Learning Foundations focuses on the domains of social-emotional development, language and literacy, English-language development, and mathematics. They provide a comprehensive understanding of what children learn in these four domains.

In an effort to partner with parents in the education of their preschool children, key sections of the publication are available and have been translated to support parents' understanding of the preschool learning foundations, their purpose, and what they describe as the knowledge and skills that children typically attain at 48 and 60 months of age. The translations include traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Hmong, Korean, Pilipino (Tagalog), Spanish, and Vietnamese, and are based on the prevalent non-English languages spoken by parents of preschool children in California.

Attention administrators: you know that the DRDP assists educators to better monitor progress and tailor instruction and intervention to the individual needs of each child.

Did you know that you can use DRDP data to assist with program evaluation, continual quality improvement efforts, and program decision-making?

Join guest speakers Dr. Elizabeth Schroeder and Dr. Cornelia Taylor for the Coffee Break webinar in March as they link the DRDP to federal child outcomes and show you where you can find your local preschool child outcomes data.
Tuesday, March 19, 2024, 3:00-3:15 PM

As part of child outcomes reporting, the DR Access Project annually calculates the percent of preschoolers exiting preschool special education functioning at age expectations in "Use of Appropriate Behaviors to Meet Needs"*.

Children experienced reduced physical activity levels due to COVID-19 lockdowns** and spent less time in the community and classroom where they practice adaptive skills, leading to a decline in the percent of SELPAs meeting state targets for preschoolers functioning at age expectations between spring 2019 and winter 2021. Most children returned to classrooms by spring 2021.

Recorded workshop describing and demonstrating how DRDP profiles inform: present levels of performance or development on the IEP or IFSP, long term goals, what to teach next, and linking the DRDP to the California Early Learning Foundations.

Features strategies for using the DRDP and DR Access Reports to identify and measure the developmental and learning progress of children with IFSPs and IEPs.

With the release of the Request for Applications (RFA) for a new round of Inclusive Early Education Expansion Program (IEEEP) funding, comes new opportunities for professional development to support the inclusion of children with disabilities in preschool inclusive classrooms.

Embedded Instruction for Early Learning - California (EIEL-CA) is proud to be part of the professional development offered through IEEEP. Grantees may use the funding to receive job-embedded professional development with practice-based coaching to assist LEA teaching teams with implementing evidence-based instructional practices in preschool inclusive classrooms.
