Research Summaries and Alignment
DRDP: Developed from the Research Literature and Aligned to the California Infant/Toddler and Preschool Foundations
The relationship between the DRDP domains and relevant foundations varies within and across the learning and development domains. There is a correspondence in the extent to which key skills and concepts addressed by each DRDP measure relates to key skills and concepts in the California infant/toddler learning and development foundations and preschool learning foundations.
DRDP Developed from the Research Literature
The DRDP is grounded in the research literature that addresses the range of knowledge and skills that children demonstrate as they develop from birth to kindergarten entry.
Research summaries are available for each DRDP (2015) domain.
DRDP Aligned to the California Infant/Toddler and Preschool Foundations
The DRDP addresses the most salient, representative, and observable knowledge and skills across a range of learning and development domains in the foundations.
Correspondence summaries are available for each DRDP domain.
Alignment to Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework
DRDP (2015): Aligned to the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework
The relationship between the DRDP domains and relevant Head Start outcomes varies within and across the learning and development domains. There is a correspondence in the extent to which key skills and concepts addressed by each DRDP measure relate to key skills and concepts in the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (HSELOF).
Each document below describes the correspondence between the DRDP and the HSELOF for Infant/Toddler or Preschool. Each document includes an opening paragraph that characterizes the nature of the correspondence, and a correspondence table for each DRDP domain. The correspondence tables provide detailed information regarding the correspondence between each measure in the DRDP (2015) domains to specific outcomes.
Correspondence between the DRDP and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, Infant/Toddler
Correspondence between the DRDP and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework, Preschool
Alignment
Alignment of the California Preschool Learning Foundations with Key Early Education Resources: California Infant/Toddler Learning and Development Foundations, California Content Standards, the Common Core State Standards, and Head Start Child Development and Early Learning Framework (print format only) illustrates how the preschool foundations align with California state Kindergarten content standards, the common core state standards, the infant toddler foundations and the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework.
