As a provider, teacher or caregiver for children from birth to age 5, this may be the first time you are fully implementing distance learning. This how-to guide will help you use the DC Early Learning Standards (DC ELS) and Distance Learning Guide to support children and families.  \nThe updated DC ELS provide families and educators with information about expectations for what children know and are able to do, and describe how children progress at various ages and development levels. They focus on the whole child and include a broad range of domains because young children’s learning and development are interrelated. The DC ELSare aligned to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework: Ages Birth to Five (2015), the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics (2010) as well as the Next Generation Science Standards (2013) . Not only can providers, teachers and caregivers implement practices associated with the standards but families can reference the standards in English, Spanish, Amharic, French, Korean, Chinese (Mandarin) or Vietnamese for ideas to support their children at home. The following at-a-glance shows one example:  \nDC ELSAt-A-Glance  \nFor standard 6, Uses language to express self, indicators, examples, supportive practices and alignment to Common Core State Standards are highlighted. The DC ELS offers research-based examples and supportive practices as a springboard for your lesson planning and activity development. It is also important to consider how families will need your help adapting these practices for distance learning.  \nKnowing the children in your program, are there additional strategies you would recommend to their families to develop this skill?  \nDistance Learning Guide  \nThe Distance Learning Guide can help you develop lesson plans and activities to support children and families learning at home. While extended screen time is not developmentally appropriate for children, you can use platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Google Meet to demonstrate activities and strategies that families can use independently with their children. The family engagement online session planning tool, on page two of the Distance Learning Guide, gives an overview of this strategy and is summarized on the following page.  \n• Know It: Identify the standard with which you want to support children and families using the DC ELS. Consider what adaptations you may make to the supportive practices based on distance learning. Think through the lessons and activities you have implemented in the classroom in the past and how you may adapt them for families to implement during distance learning.  \n• See It: Arrange time with families, either as a group or individually, to demonstrate the activity or strategy. Use online platforms, phone calls or other means to convey the information. Help families identify resources commonly available in the home to use during the activity.  \n• Try It: Encourage families to try the activities and strategies at home each day. Ask families to give you feedback on how their children are responding to and engaging with the activities.  \n• Revise It: Based on families’ feedback, consider any updates you can make to the activities and strategies, or any additional resources you can share.  \nDistance Learning Resource Guide for Local Education Agencies (LEAs)  \nOSSE has also published the Distance Learning Resource Guide for Local Education Agencies (LEAs) to support administrators and teachers in the District’s public schools. Although not specifically targeted to early care and education programs, the strategies can help you successfully engage with children and families at home. The resource guide can be downloaded in English, Spanish, Amharic, French, Vietnamese, Korean and Chinese.  \nHow can I help families support children while l","cbCain47rQKyZ89m","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain47rQKyZ89m","pdf",229847,"English","# DC ELS and Distance Learning Overview\n## Using Updated DC ELS Across Ages and Development Levels\n## At-A-Glance Example for Standard 6\n## Distance Learning Guide Actions: Know It, See It, Try It, Revise It\n# Distance Learning Resource Guide for Local Education Agencies (LEAs)\n## Supporting Families While Learning From Home\n## Supporting Multilingual Families at Home","[{\"question\":\"How do the updated DC Early Learning Standards support distance learning for young children?\",\"answer\":\"They provide families and educators expectations for what children know and can do, describe how children progress across ages and development levels, and focus on interconnected domains.
