*NEW**! NYSED's Call for Feedback on Draft PreK Learning Standards *
The Board of Regents would like your feedback on the final draft of the New
York State PreK Learning Standards, which will be presented for discussion
and adoption at their January 2011 meeting. As someone invested in the
education of young children, your professional opinion is important to the
finalization of this project. The New York State PreKindergarten Learning
Standards are arranged in five developmental domains: Approaches to
Learning; Physical Development and Health; Social and Emotional Development;
Communication, Language and Literacy; and Cognition and Knowledge of the
World. Each domain identifies clearly the benchmarks that children should
meet during their prekindergarten experience and performance indicators that
can be observed as children meet these benchmarks. A survey is posted on
the Universal PreK website, http://www.p12.nysed.gov/upk , for you to share
your comments and recommendations. Any questions about the survey may be
sent to ( emsceeri@mail.nysed.gov ). *The deadline for your input is **December
22, 2010**. *Thank you in advance for your time and your continued support
of the young learners in New York State. Your input matters!
