Standards are everywhere in early childhood education, from the number of children recommended for each teacher in a room-to defining what young children should be learning. Make Early Learning Standards Come Alive provides practical help, support, and clear explanations on how to make early learning standards relevant and useful in classrooms and programs. Easy-to-read charts show the common language for standards, cross-referenced across twenty-four states, and how each particular standard correlates with current best practices. Make Early Learning Standards Come Alive is copublished and adopted as a comprehensive membership benefit by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Book jacket.
