Early Learning Standards

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) specifies certain requirements for aligning Individual Education Plans (IEPs) to state standards. Agreed upon standards may be used as a starting point for reflective teachers to create learning experiences that build on what children already know and capture their interest in learning. Standards are merely a part of a quality educational system in which assessment, standards, curriculum, and instructional practices are aligned.
