How does the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence relate to the Head Start Child Outcomes?
Prior to the development of the Head Start Child Outcomes, Dr. E.D. Hirsch was invited to provide testimony regarding the content and characteristics of an effective preschool education to the Congressional committee charged with reauthorizing the Head Start Act. The testimony he provided was drawn largely from the Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence and much of its content and language were eventually incorporated into the Head Start Child Outcomes. Suffice it to say, that the Preschool Sequence is very closely aligned with the Child Outcomes.
