Background:

The New York State Education Department has revised standards across learning and development domains and has been working to focus attention on P3 as a specialized learning period.  As the field builds awareness about the standards themselves, questions remain about ensuring developmentally appropriate, responsive and effective curriculum development and instruction while maintaining a rigorous, standards-based focus in P-3.  This year's summer institute will provide focused attention on this area while building on P-3 systems work started in many districts last year.
