Education Standards and Curriculum for Childrens Learning Reflection In general, curriculum includes all of the educational
experiences available students. This includes academic areas and
subjects (e.g., math, literacy, etc.), as well as the domains of
development (e.g., language, cognition, etc.). Since schools and centers
are responsible for ensuring children achieve in these areas, standards
for achievement are set in place. Standards indicate what children
should be able to do within a subject area or domain of development (The Center on Standards & Assessment Implementation, 2018). Standards are a key indicator of student success, yet they vary widely by state. While standards are a guide and do not dictate the curriculum you will be teaching, it
is important as educators that we not only know what the standards are
for our individual states, but also the role they play in our ability to
plan effective instruction. To prepare for this journal, STATE IS NEW YORK
