1 Request for Application FY Early Childhood Education Degree Coursework alignment with the Pennsylvania Core Knowledge Competencies for Early Childhood and School-Age Professionals Pennsylvania Professional Development System Values A Great Early Childhood Workforce System: Supports early childhood professionals at all levels, including progress along diverse career pathways as defined by the Career Lattice. Strengthens the capacity of early childhood professionals to support children s development and learning through high quality, developmentally culturally, linguistically and ability appropriate instruction that is child-centered, inclusive, family-focused, and built on the foundation of the Core Knowledge Competencies. Part I: General Information 1a. Issuing agency The Pennsylvania Key (PA Key) is committed to providing quality learning opportunities for Pennsylvania s children and their families by creating an integrated system of outreach, support and resources for early childhood and school-age educators and their programs. The PA Key is coordinated by the Berks County Intermediate Unit and partners with the Pennsylvania Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL). 1b. Statement of Need Pennsylvania recognizes that highly qualified educators are critical to improving children s readiness, particularly for children with high needs. Pennsylvania is committed to the development of a common statewide progression of credentials and degrees aligned with the core knowledge competencies. To accomplish this goal it is critical to engage postsecondary institutions in the effort. While many institutions have been involved over the years, the new CKCs afford new opportunities. 1c. Timeline and Due Date Application Release: February 15, 2016 Application questions due: 5:00 PM on February 24, 2016; submit questions to highereducation@berksiu.org.

2 Application Due Date: March 16, 2016 Funding Approval Notification: Mailed out on March 28, d. Core Knowledge Competencies Overview The Pennsylvania Core Knowledge Competencies (CKC) for Early Childhood and School- Age Professionals (formerly known as the Core Body of Knowledge) is an important component of Pennsylvania s professional development system. In January 2014, rollout of the CKCs began. Revisions to the CKCs was an extensive multi-year endeavor that resulted in the alignment of core competencies with existing State and National Standards; including the following standards: Pennsylvania Department of Education Teacher Certification Guidelines(Chapter 49-2) The Pennsylvania Child Day Care Regulations (Chapter 3270) National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Standards for Early Childhood Teacher Preparation Programs National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Early Childhood Program Standards and Accreditation Criteria Head Start Child Development & Early Learning Framework Workforce Knowledge & Competency Framework Definition in Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) Council for Exceptional Children-Division of Early Childhood (DEC) Position Statement The CKCs define the knowledge and competencies expectations for adults working with young children within the early care and education settings, including the school-age field. It comprises eight knowledge areas and a set of core knowledge statements about what early care and education professionals, including childcare directors or administrators, should know and be able to do with such knowledge at three levels of competence. The following eight knowledge areas are addressed in the CKCs: K1 - Child Growth and Development K2 - Curriculum and Learning Experiences K3 - Families, School and Community Collaboration and Partnerships K4 - Assessment K5 - Communication K6 - Professionalism and Leadership K7 - Health, Safety and Nutrition K8 - Program Organization and Administration Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality (2/2016) P a g e 2
3 Each knowledge area opens with a rationale that explains how the content in that knowledge area relates to the early childhood and school-age professionals in their work with young children and their families. Each set of competencies in the eight knowledge areas addresses knowledge, skills, and dispositions that lay the foundation for continuous quality improvement (CQI) in early learning and school-age care settings. The revision more fully describes competencies related to family engagement, cultural, linguistic, ability diversity, inclusive practices, and positive social emotional development of children. The revisions were also informed by a diverse group of stakeholders and early care and education professionals representing birth through higher education: Early Intervention, Head Start, Program Quality Assessors, Professional Development (PD), Technical Assistant (TA) consultants, the Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL), higher education faculty, and the PA Key. The revised CKC is designed to be more inclusive of all group settings and address the needs of all children in programs. It also reflects Pennsylvania s revised learning standards and current research on best practice in the field. It supports students preparation for entry into the field of early childhood education and school-age care at any point of such entry; as well as professionals commitment to lifelong learning through ongoing professional growth and development. The CKC content is research-based and contains information about a full range of knowledge and skills that assure sound teaching practices and is essential for pre-service candidates and individuals seeking advanced credits in Early Care and Education discipline. Alignment of ECE and Child Development degree courses with the CKC will ensure greater depth and breadth in all the content areas and across a full range of early education and school-age competencies. Incurring costs 1e. Term of the Agreement and Funding Amount The term of the agreement shall be for a period of one year (April 2016 to March 2017).
