We want all children to have a quality childhood so they become joyful. lifelong learners, active contributors to healthy communities and productive members of society. We work in partnership with the early childhood community ( including parents and professionals in the public and private sector), to create strong communities in which all families are supported in their roles and responsibilities.
Department of Public Instruction will accomplish this by providing leadership, partnership, policy development, incentives and technical assistance throughout the State of Wisconsin.
The goal is to establish an internal communication system which would serve as
a model of collaboration, networking, and public relations for
the staff, teams, and organizational units within the DPI that
impact early years of childhood services, birth to age eight.
Provide ongoing information to the field related to early childhood
and the "Bright Beginnings" Initiatives and establish
communications systems which allow feedback and input from the
early childhood field, including parents, teachers, administrators,
support staff, CESAs, and public libraries, governmental and non-governmental
agencies, consumer and professional associations, relevant philanthropic
organizations, legislators and others in the early childhood community.
Wisconsin model early learning standards have been developed by the state departments of
Public Instruction, Health and Family Services, and Workforce Development. These
standards reflect the shared values and commitments of the citizens of Wisconsin
to prepare young children for success in school. They include performance
standards and provide a framework for the development of program standards and
assessment practices. Children who meet the developmental expectations outlined
in the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards will be prepared to master Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards. A
flyer about the booklet is also available.
