This training is designed to complement your
initial training on the new VPK standards. At the
end of this training, you will better understand
the purpose, focus and rationale for
the new standards and benchmarks for the areas
of Language and Communication and Emergent Literacy.
These materials will help
you understand the critical, age-appropriate instructional and environmental
strategies that will prepare all children to succeed
in kindergarten. Specifically, the next 5 hours
will illustrate key instructional strategies, daily
schedule components, and environmental factors
you should consider in planning for the teaching
of these new standards and benchmarks. You, Florida’s
VPK teachers and providers, are essential to the
future of our children.
As you proceed through this course, you will learn about the research behind each of the language and emergent literacy standards and what you can do to promote children’s learning in these areas. This training is not designed to turn prekindergarten into a kindergarten class, but was developed to provide you with the information and knowledge needed to know what children need to know and be able to do to be ready for kindergarten.
