Pre-K STE Standards

Professional Learning Opportunity

The Pre-K Science and Technology/Engineering Standards (STE) are the highest quality early learning and development standards for children that articulate multi-domain expectations for children's growth and support continuity in early education from birth through kindergarten.  These standards will provide a foundation for creating learning and growth opportunities for children across all communities and families and across both informal and formal environments.

This Professional Learning Opportunity will introduce to early childhood and out of school time educators a comprehensive review of the new Pre-K STE Standards developed by Wheelock College and funded by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Educators will learn how to implement these standards into their program curriculum, offering learning opportunities for children in science, technology, and engineering.

The Pre-K STE Standards can be found on EEC's website under Curriculum and Learning or at the following link:  http://www.mass.gov/edu/docs/eec/2013/20131009-pk-sci-tech-standards.pdf
