Currently in <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span>, 50 states, five territories, and the <span class=\"xn-location\">District of Columbia<\/span> have established prekindergarten (pre-K) age 4 learning standards that are intended to outline skills and knowledge that set children on a path to success in kindergarten and later on. These standards are a centralizing force in early childhood education, providing a bridge between preschool and the elementary grades.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The report reviews the development and history of pre-K standards, differences across state standards, alignment of standards, impact of standards on teachers, and consideration of national pre-K learning standards.<\/p>\n<p><b>WHO:\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Andrea DeBruin-Parecki<\/span>, <\/b>Principal Research Project Manager, ETS Early Childhood Research and Assessment Center. <\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Carly Slutzky<\/span>, <\/b>Senior Research Associate,\u00a0ETS Early Childhood Research and Assessment Center. <\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Steven Hicks<\/span><\/b>, Senior Policy Advisor for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education at the U.S. Department of Education. <\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Judith Walker<\/span><\/b>, the Early Learning Branch Chief for the Division of Early Childhood Development at the \u200eMaryland State Department of Education. <\/li>\n<li><b><span class=\"xn-person\">Yvette Sanchez Fuentes<\/span><\/b>, President of the National Alliance for Hispanic Families. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>When: <\/b><span class=\"xn-chron\">Thursday, May 12<\/span><br \/>11:30 a.m.\u20131:30 p.m. (lunch provided)<\/p>\n<p><b>Where: <\/b>ETS<br \/>1800 K Street NW, Ninth Floor<br \/><span class=\"xn-location\">Washington, DC<\/span> 20006<\/p>\n<p><b>About ETS <br \/><\/b>At ETS, we advance quality and equity in education for people worldwide by creating assessments based on rigorous research.
