Curriculum Alignment with the Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF)
Aligning a curriculum with the ELOF allows staff to see which and to what extent the ELOF domains and sub-domains are addressed in the curriculum.
The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework describes how children progress across key areas of learning and development. This information helps adults better understand how they can provide experiences that support important early learning outcomes for all children.
Resources in this collection support children's development across five central ELOF domains: Approaches to Learning; Social and Emotional Development; Language and Literacy; Cognition; and Perceptual, Motor, and Physical Development.
