Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators are the developmental steps that a

learner performs to demonstrate knowledge stated in the Academic Standards. They are not

academic standards, but reflect a continuum of skills that are needed for all learners to be

successful. The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators focus on preschool through

Grade 2 in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Mathematics. The indicators are based

on child development theory and authentic observations of the steps young children move through

to eventually reach the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. These measurable indicators provide

educators with information concerning what the learners should know and be able to do across a

continuum of age or grade ranges. Included are suggestions for the use of the Early Childhood

Learning Continuum Indicators as well as suggestions for implementation.

What Are The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators?

"...The continuum of skills that an early childhood learner needs in order toachieve the Pennsylvania Academic Standards by grade three."

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has established academic standards for grades three,

five, eight and eleven, that clearly indicate what learners should know and be able to do by the

time they complete each of those grade levels. Although learners are assessed by the

Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) in reading and mathematics during grades

five, eight and eleven, and in writing during grades six, nine and eleven, every year's curriculum

contributes to the learners' total education. After reviewing the academic standards, educators

must know what is expected of learners in pre- kindergarten, kindergarten, first and second grade

to develop a plan for achieving the academic standards by grade three. This education of early

childhood learners is part of life long learning that is significantly influenced by preschool and

early childhood experiences.

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators are designed as a continuum from

the early stages of development through third grade. The indicators developed across this

continuum are organized by age ranges of programs for young including: through pre-

kindergarten, pre-kindergarten through kindergarten, kindergarten through grade one, and grade

one through grade two. These stated ranges serve as a basic guide for educators, as not all

learners will attain the stated skills at the same rate and time. As with any group of young

learners, some will attain skills prior to the designated range and some will attain them after the

stated range. The key for educators is to become familiar with connections of the base skills that

are necessary along the continuum.

The intent of the Learning Continuum Indicators is to provide educators with a map of

the skills that are necessary for young children to work toward the achievement of the Academic

Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and the Academic Standards for

Mathematics by grade three. As a continuum, the indicators are intended to be a guide for

educators to design curriculum, instruction and assessments that focus on learners achieving

specific skills that are needed to achieve academic standards.

How Were The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators

Developed?

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators are developed using the Academic

Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and the Academic Standards for

Mathematics as the basis. The process utilized to accomplish this involved considering learners'

individual needs and developmentally appropriate practices as an integral part of the process.

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators are designed to be measurable in order to

monitor and assess student progress toward the grade three Academic Standards.

The committees who developed the indicators were comprised of educators from various

preschool providers, early elementary and higher education. The various committees reviewed

the Academic Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and the Academic

Standards for Mathematics for all grade levels to develop a clear understanding of what is

expected of the learners. The indicators are designed with the end in mind, using a design

process with a systematic schema of building conceptual understandings over time.

Suggestions For The Use Of The Early Childhood Learning

Continuum Indicators

The Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators provide a guide for preschools,

school districts and school buildings to link curriculum, instruction and assessments with the

Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening and the

Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Mathematics. These indicators can be used to:

Build partnerships between preschool and school-age facilities;

Promote continuity between preschool and school-age curriculums;

Write curriculum;

Determine how the present curriculum aligns with the Academic Standards;

Use as a basis for local decisions on curriculum;

Establish age and grade level expectations;

Identify basic skills that a learner needs to know and be able to do, in order to

accomplish specific Academic Standards;

Align instruction with expectations based on the Academic Standards;

Design instruction that is based on the skills that learners need to be successful;

Align program, building and classroom assessments with Academic Standards;

Monitor learner progress toward the achievement of the Academic Standards;

Identify the skills needed by those learners who are not progressing toward

achievement of academic standards; and

Devise a plan for improving learners' achievement and additional instructional

opportunities as provided in Chapter 4, Strategic Plans, Items 6 & 11.

Suggestions For Implementing Early Childhood Indicators

The following implementation suggestions for using the Early Childhood Indicators were

developed by the Cleona Elementary School Early Childhood Assessment System Model Site in

the Annville-Cleona School District.

1. Become familiar with the grade three Pennsylvania Academic Standards.

2. Review the content and progression of the indicators developed for preschool

through grade two.

3. Compare the content of the indicators to the content of the current curriculum

document. (Management suggestion: Use a yellow highlighter to mark the indicators

that are written in the current curriculum document.)

4. Bring grade level representatives together to review what is currently taught in the

areas of Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening and Mathematics. In reality, this

may not match what is in the current curriculum document. (Use a blue highlighter

to mark those indicators currently taught in the classroom.)

5. Review the results.

All indicators that are both in the current curriculum document AND are being taughtare green (marked with both yellow and blue highlighter).

All grade level indicators in the current curriculum document but not taughtconsistently are yellow.

All grade level indicators not in the current curriculum document but taught are blue.

6. Evaluate the results.

Determine which indicators are not taught AND are not in the current curriculumdocument.

Discuss the implications at each grade level.

Determine local expectations. Consider what students need to know and be able to doin Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening and Mathematics at each grade level.

Ask the following questions:

How should the current curriculum document berevised to include all of the missing indicators?

Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators 7

Page 10: Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that …DOCUMENT RESUME ED 482 871 PS 031 710 TITLE Early Childhood Learning Continuum Indicators: The Continuum of Skills that an Early

Should staff be encouraged or required to provide instruction inthe areas not currently covered?

Determine which indicators are not taught OR are not in the current curriculumdocument.

Discuss the implications and make changes as needed.

7. Align expectations. Bring grade level representatives together to align expectations

from preschool through grade three.

Although there can be no adjustments to the grade three Pennsylvania AcademicStandards, the Indicators from preschool through grade two can be changed andshould serve as a guide. The Indicators are intended to be suggestions and notnecessarily followed exactly. Local decisions need to be made with regard toappropriate grade level expectations. Make adjustments as needed.

Be cautious about allowing textbooks, materials, and programs to drive expectationsand/or curriculum.

Include representation from Preschool settings. Discuss the expectations in Preschoolprograms so that alignment can be made beginning with Pre-Kindergarten and/ orKindergarten programs.

8. Establish assessments.

List current assessments to evaluate grade level expectations.

Determine developmentally appropriate assessments for pre-kindergarten.

Locate or develop assessments for indicators that are not presently evaluated.

Align assessments from preschool through grade three.

Establish levels of performance.

Design rubrics to clarify the performance levels.

9. List and describe grade level instructional strategies that provide instruction for

students to reach the established indicators. Alternate instructional strategies

provide additional instructional opportunities for students not achieving established

indicators.

10. Review and assess the process and continue to revise and refine.
