Utilizing the PTKLF to Meet the Needs of Young Learners with Special Needs

Utilizing the PTKLF to Meet the Needs of Young Learners with Special Needs

This training provides special education professionals and early childhood educators with practical tools and strategies to effectively apply the Preschool Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations (PTKLF) in inclusive and special education settings. Participants will explore how to align foundations with individualized learning goals, adapt instruction to support diverse developmental needs, and create responsive environments that promote growth in all domains of learning. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how to use the PTKLF as a guide for developmentally appropriate, equity-driven, and inclusive teaching practices for young children with disabilities.

The California Department of Education has released the California Preschool/Transitional Kindergarten Learning Foundations (PTKLF). The PTKLF describe the knowledge and skills that most children ages 3 to 5 1/2 develop in high-quality early education programs.

These trainings will introduce you to the PTKLF and help you explore each of nine learning domains.

Join us for an insightful and practical workshop designed specifically for teachers and support staff working with students in early education. This training will provide valuable information on understanding and managing challenging behaviors in early education settings. 

This dynamic two-day institute, hosted by SDCOE's P-3 team, is specifically designed for early education administrators and center-based site leaders. The session focuses on understanding the role of the early education administrator and site leader within the P-3 system, enhancing leadership capabilities, partnering with local education agencies, and effectively managing staff.

At Children’s Paradise we recognize that family engagement extends beyond the center and into the communities where our families live. To support this we forged a partnership with North County Trade Tech High, a tuition-free charter public school, to develop and implement the Future Educators Academy (FEA).
