The Power of K: NC Kindergarten Position Statement
Because the early childhood
years, birth through age 8, are the most powerful years for learning,
growth and development in the life of a child and because kindergarten
holds a place in the education of a student as one of the foundations
for the attitudes about learning that children and families will carry
with them throughout their years of schooling and beyond, it is
critical that NC kindergarten programs provide a solid educational and
developmental base for all children. Read the NC State Board of Education endorsed position statement!
The Power of K: NC Kindergarten Teacher Leader Initiative
This 3-year long-term professional development initiative was established in 2007 to strengthen North Carolina's Kindergarten classrooms. Of 219 teachers who applied, funding was available for the selection of 35 teachers. Over the past years of the project, the teachers and their principals have been exploring ways to create classrooms that are designed for 5-year-old children while providing a rigorous curriculum for all students.
