However, there are a few specific domain elements that the ELS does not address directly and, for transparency, these are outlined here. To keep the ELS to a manageable system several elements were not included based on a strict criteria which included that all items in the ELS needed to be observable in the natural course of the preschool day, critical to present and future learning, and develop on a continuum. Specifically, physical development and the arts are not included as domain items to be scored on a continuum on this instrument, but rather are included as additional areas that teachers will want to be consider, collect data, and notice and intervene when there is a concern. The domain elements, People & the Environment and History & Events, in the domain Social Studies Knowledge and Skills on the Head Start document are not directly addressed in the ELS, but rather can be tapped in through the Play items on the instrument. Through dramatic play teachers can easily observe and record data around children s understanding of the relationship between people and the environment in which they live and demonstration of an understanding that events that have happened in the past and relate these events to one s self, family, and community.
