Transitions for Young Children: Creating Connections Across Early Childhood Systems

(Kagan, Tate)• Standards are an essential element of a transition policy framework because they describe what children should learn in each setting.

• Establishing standards requires deep thinking about the nature of what children experience as they move from one setting to another.

• Alignment of expectations across age/grade levels promotes continuity in what children learn at different ages and facilitates effective transitions.

• Misalignment of standards contributes to discontinuity between settings.
