Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards Training
Friday, April 5 and Friday, May 3, 2013
8:30 am - 3:30 pm
This training will provide participants with an opportunity to explore the WMELS so that they will be able to use them to build a foundation for high quality care and education for all children from birth to the beginning of first grade. Participants will learn how to apply the WMELS Performance Standards and connect them to Common Core Standards to determine what children should know and be able to do, plan learning experiences, provide supportive environments and collect data to ensure that all children are learning and making progress.
Presenters: Arlene Wright, WI Model Early Learning Standards Statewide Coordinator; Mary Joslin, WI Statewide Preschool Options Coordinator; Amy Carriere, CESA 10 Early Childhood Program Support
This training will include an overview of the contents and design of the WMELS as they connect to the Common Core standards and how to apply them within early learning classroom settings. Outcomes of the WMELS training include:
- Understand the WMELS domains, sub-domains, developmental expectations/performance standards/program standards, developmental continuum.
- Use the process of screening, observation, and assessment to identify current status of a focus child.
- Use the teaching cycle (Planning and Curriculum goals; Implementation; Ongoing Assessment) to intentionally plan for children to meet developmental expectations.
- Use an age anchoring ongoing assessment tool to organize information to determine goals and plan activities.
- Practice planning for large group, small group and individualized instruction as well as embedding goals within daily routines and learning centers.
- Reflect on current teaching practices using the teaching cycle.
- Understand the importance of using the WMELS as a guide, along with Common Core for 5K, to determine local benchmarks/learning targets that will inform decision-making regarding curriculum and assessment.
