The first module of Preschool SDI introduces participants to the Iowa SDI Framework and the DEC Recommended Practices. Both documents are the foundation of the Preschool SDI work and this module provides both the context and background to the professional learning.
Participants in Preschool SDI will be able to:
Discuss why we are doing this work in Iowa.
Explain the SDI Framework and the 3 component areas.
Tell about the DEC Recommended Practices.
Explain the expectations for the professional learning.
Here are resources, links, and materials for those who would like to continue learning more about the topic and deepen their understanding and implementation, especially for Year 3 and beyond.
