Synopsis

The Expanded Forerunners supplement The Creative Curriculum® Developmental Continuum for Ages 3-5. Families, education officials, and the general public want assurance that all children-including those with special education needs and diagnosed disabilities-have access to the general curriculum, are working to attain the same high standards as their non-disabled peers, and are making progress. The Expanded Forerunners were developed with these concerns in mind and at the request of teachers who are working in both self-contained special education classrooms and inclusive settings. The Expanded Forerunners describe three sequential developmental steps (with examples) within the Forerunner level for each of the 50 objectives of The Creative Curriculum for Preschool. They allow teachers to observe children's emerging skills and understandings, describe their strengths and abilities, and assess their progress toward Step I of particular objectives. Children function at the Forerunner level for various reasons and lengths of time, and their abilities range widely. Some children at the Forerunner level simply lack experience or opportunities to develop particular skills, while other children have diagnosed disabilities in one or more developmental areas. All of these children are still developing and learning, and the Expanded Forerunners offer a way to describe their strengths, plan appropriate support, and document their progress.
