KELS Curriculum Alignment Toolkit

Though various publishers have provided the curriculum alignments below, there is great value in staff doing this alignment on their own.  It allows staff to dig deeply into the curriculum and become very familiar with the Kansas Early Learning Standards, the curriculum, and other supplemental materials your program is using.   The following toolkit will guide program through aligning curricula with the Kansas Early Learning Standards.
