Section 2.3
Curricula Related to the Seven Domains of the VPK Standards

Introduction

As you choose the curricula for your VPK program be sure that all of the domains are covered. You may choose published curricula or use ones developed specifically for your program. The key point is that the curricula address each of the seven domains. You may have more than one curriculum, as long as each domain is covered.

In this section you will identify the seven domains related to the VPK Education Standards, review the definition of a curriculum, and learn how to evaluate its alignment with the VPK Education Standards.
