How can the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards be used in programs with children who speak English as a Second Language?
The principles on which these Standards are designed include the recognition of cultural and linguistic diversity and its impact on child development. Persons working with children who speak other languages or with children from other cultures, will need to pay special attention to how they design culturally relevant environments and curriculum activities. Linguistically and culturally appropriate programming will ensure that each childs individual needs are addressed. See questions 34 and 35 for more information on Spanish and Hmong versions of the Standards.
