Educators are now being asked to learn about standards and incorporate
them into their work with young children. When used appropriately, standards
have positive effects on curriculum (what is taught), instruction (teaching
strategies), and assessment (determining student performance and progress).
We have defined the language and literacy, math, science and social studies standards in a way we think you will find meaningful and useful in your work with young children. As you become familiar with these four sets of standards, you will notice that there is overlap and interconnections. This is the nature of learning—it doesn't fall into neat little separate bundles. Throughout Mother Goose Programs™ there is an emphasis on curriculum standards in literacy, mathematics, science and social studies. Standards are designed to answer two big questions:
Professional organizations such as the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), The National Academy of Science (NAS), the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and the National Council of Teachers of Social Studies (NCSS), as well as most state departments of education, have created and published sets of standards for a range of age and grade levels, often beginning with kindergarten and advancing through grade 12. |
