Stokes – NC Foundations for Early Learning and Development Part 1 & Part 2

Participants will be able to identify North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and Development (NC FELDS/Foundations) by name, explain the structure by which the expectations are organized, and identify for what age groups they are written. Demonstrate how Foundations reflects what is known about childhood development. Explain that goals for any age level describe expectations that many children will reach toward the end of their respective age level. Create scenarios that reflect how are expectations are embedded in everyday practice. Participants will be able to describe how Foundations can be used for differentiation and individualization, and help children with cultural, linguistic, and ability diversity. We will discuss how Foundations is aligned with Common Core and NC Essential standards (but not required to teach younger children) and lastly participants will create a plan for communicating with parents and other stakeholders about how Foundations reflects appropriate expectations for young children.
