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.
