Before back-to-school 2026, alignment to all all 50 States’ learning standards and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework will be in our digital platform, SmartTeach.
Alignments to individual state standards and the Head Start ELOF will be found in The Creative Curriculum for Infants, The Creative Curriculum for Toddlers, The Creative Curriculum for Preschool, The Creative Curriculum for Pre-K, The Creative Curriculum for Kindergarten, GOLD, GOLDFinch, and Kickstart Literacy.
Teaching Strategies has been aligned to each states’ learning standards for over a decade, but now this alignment will be visible into a teacher and administrators day-to-day life. This integration saves teachers time from manually cross-walking their lesson plans and assessment to their specific standards, and it gives administrators confidence in their classrooms and programs.
