Field Review will be open from February 28 until April 18, 2025. We will collect and review all submissions and use your feedback to ensure the K-4 Foundational Proficiencies meet the needs of teachers. If possible, we encourage teachers to use the K-4 Foundational Learning Progressions in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics prior to sharing feedback.
We would appreciate your responses to the questions listed below regarding your experiences with the K-4 Foundational Learning Progressions.
- How do the K-4 Foundational Learning Progressions align with the level of proficiency you observe in your classroom? Are there areas where descriptors are too advanced or not advanced enough?
- Are there additional terms in the K-4 Foundational Learning Progressions where more definitions would be helpful in clarifying the learning standards of the curriculum?
- What additional resources (e.g., teaching and learning stories, curriculum connections, additional definitions, webinars) would help you develop foundational language arts and math skills within your classroom?
- Are there ELA or Mathematics foundational skills that aren’t represented within this document? What skills would you add or replace?
- How might the K-4 Foundational Learning Progressions support:
- Observations and formative assessments to support your lesson and unit planning?
- Classroom assessment and looking for evidence of proficiency?
- Communications with parents about how well their child is doing in ELA and Mathematics?
