When used as part of the curriculum, the ields provide guidance to teachers in early childhood programs to create and sustain developmentally appropriate experiences for young children that will strengthen their intellectual dispositions and support their continuing success as learners and students. the age-appropriate benchmarks in the ields enable educators to reflect upon and evaluate the experiences they provide for all preschool children.  \nthere are cautions to consider when implementing the ields. they are meant to be used to enhance planning for preschool children, to enrich play-based curricular practices, and to support the growth of each child to his or her fullest potential. they are not meant to push down curriculum and expectations from higher grades. the ields are research-based, so they identify expectations that are just right for preschool children.  \nas teachers in early childhood programs implement the ields, they can be guided by dr. lilian Katz, internationally known early childhood leader, expert, and professor emeritus at the University of illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Her reminder to expand our thinking beyond just the ields themselves and also consider “standards of experiences” is an important message for all.  \ndr. Katz writes:  \nAs we think about standards, I suggest we ask ourselves: “What are the standards of experience that we want all of our children to have?” Below is a very preliminary list of some important “standards of experiences” that should be provided for all young children in all programs.  \nYoung children should frequently have the following experiences:  \n• Being intellectually engaged, absorbed, challenged.  \n• Having confidence in their own intellectual powers and their own questions.  \n• Being engaged in extended interactions (e.g., conversations, discussions, exchanges of views, arguments, planning).  \n• Being involved in sustained investigations of aspects of their own environment worthy of their interest, knowledge, understanding.  \n• Taking initiative in a range of activities and accepting responsibility for what is accomplished.  \n• Knowing the satisfaction that can come from overcoming obstacles and setbacks and solving problems.  \n• Helping others to find out things and to understand them better.  \n• Making suggestions to others and expressing appreciation of others’ efforts and accomplishments.  \n• Applying their developing basic literacy and numeracy skills in purposeful ways.  \n• Feelings of belonging to a group of their peers.  \nThe list is derived from general consideration of the kinds of experiences that all children should have much of the time in our educational settings. It is based on philosophical commitments as well as the best available empirical evidence about young children’s learning and development.  \nIf the focus of program evaluation and assessment is on “outcomes”such as those indicated by test scores, then evaluators and assessors would very likely emphasize t","cbCaim64HE69jUCw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim64HE69jUCw","pdf",1202648,134,"English","# Contents\n## Preface\n## Introduction\n## Development of the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards\n## Purposes of the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards\n## Uses of the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards\n## Terminology in the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards\n## Guiding Principles\n## How to Navigate\n## Language Arts\n## Mathematics\n## Science\n## Social Studies\n## Physical Development and Health\n## The Arts\n## English Language Learner Home Language Development\n## Social/Emotional Development\n## References/Resources\n## Acknowledgments\n## Preschool Benchmark Index","[{\"question\":\"What are the Illinois Early Learning and Development Standards (IELDS) used for?\",\"answer\":\"IELDS provide reasonable, age-appropriate expectations to guide teachers in creating developmentally appropriate experiences and to help educators reflect on and evaluate learning experiences for preschool children.\"},{\"question\":\"What cautions apply when implementing the standards?\",\"answer\":\"The standards are meant to enhance preschool planning and enrich play-based curricular practices.
