P-3 ALIGNMENT Network Design

THE WHY

We share a commitment to student success and know that high-quality early learning is the foundation for every child’s future. The first eight years of life are a time of extraordinary growth, when children rapidly develop the skills and dispositions that shape lifelong learning.

Early childhood education provides rich, meaningful experiences that open doors to opportunity. To ensure every child thrives, including multilingual learners, children from diverse backgrounds, and children with disabilities, learning environments and instruction must be intentionally designed to meet their needs.

Sustaining this momentum requires strong, seamless, and continuous quality experiences from preschool through third grade. Advancing P-3 alignment calls for a collaborative and equity-driven approach that delivers high-quality, developmentally appropriate learning across the early years and creates the conditions for every child to flourish. We seek progress in this complex work by breaking down silos, addressing inequities, and committing to creating consistent, joyful, and rigorous learning opportunities for every child.
