The Source for Learning
 |
The Source for Learning, Inc. (SFL), a non-profit company, develops high quality, technology-based learning resources that enhance learning for children and educators. Empowered by non-profit status, SFL provides resources, such as PreschoolFirst.com, at reduced or no cost to early learning organizations serving underserved children and families nationwide. SFL’s resource PreschoolFirst.com is a research-based, observational assessment system for the early childhood years that interconnects developmental progress, learning activities, and educational decisions.
NHSA and SFL work in partnership on special projects that influence the Head Start community and the field of early learning. SFL collaborates with NHSA to produce the popular Family Connections monthly newsletter that NHSA members share with families and parents. NHSA & SFL facilitated a year-long project, The Correlation of The Head Start Framework to the Common Core State Standards in Kindergarten. In this project, Head Start specialists developed a crosswalk which illustrated the robust learning outcomes that Head Start children bring to the Kindergarten classroom thus connecting early childhood outcomes to the "cradle-to-career" continuum. NHSA and SFL hosted online survey and The School Readiness Goals Summit to expand and deepen the connection between national school readiness goals.
