2014 Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The New Jersey Department of Education would like to extend its sincere appreciation to State Board of Education member Dr. Dorothy Strickland of Rutgers University; Dr. Herb Ginsberg of Teachers College, and Dr. Marilou Hyson, who reviewed the revised preschool standards in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Approaches to Learning.
HISTORY
In April 2000, the Department of Education first developed and published Early Childhood Program Expectations: Standards as guidance for adults working with young children. In July 2004, the State Board of Education adopted a revised version of this work, Preschool Teaching and Learning Expectations: Standards of Quality. Then, in 2007, the Department embarked on the ambitious project of revising the latter work and aligning the preschool standards directly with New Jersey's K-12 Core Curriculum Content Standards. In 2009, after extensive review by education experts, stakeholders, and the public, the State Board adopted the Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards, with additional revisions. In 2013, the standards were modified to directly align with the Common Core Standards, and Approaches to Learning was added.
ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
The first four sections of Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards present information on the theoretical background, development, and use of the preschool standards. This information is essential to effectively using the preschool standards to support the particular needs of all young children in a high-quality preschool program.
Next, the preschool standards, along with optimal teaching practices, are provided for the following content areas: Social/Emotional Development, Visual and Performing Arts, Health, Safety, and Physical Education, English Language Arts, Approaches to Learning, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Family, and Life Skills, World Languages, Technology
The document concludes with a bibliography of books, articles, and periodicals that are valuable resources for any professional library.

The Numbering of the Preschool Standards
Each of the preschool standards and indicators is assigned two numbers. First, each is numbered as part of this document, Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards. Second, all preschool indicators are included in the P-12 database, where they are numbered using a five-digit code, as follows:
X.X. X.
X. X
content area/standard grade strand indicator
Preschool Teaching and Learning Standards presents both numbers for every preschool indicator: (1) the preschool indicator number is in a column to the left of each indicator, and (2) the P-12 database indicator number is in a column to the right of each indicator.
